Sportfiskekortet Stockholm

Large parts of Flaten are included in the Sport Fishing Card.
Lake area: 63 ha.
Availability:
Good shore fishing opportunities are available in most places around the lake. Can be difficult to fish due to the abundance of vegetation in the lake.
Public transport:
Subway to Skarpnäck, change to bus towards Orhem, get off at Grindstugan.
Alternatively, bus via Älta to Flatenbadet or bus from Gullmarsplan.
Fishing tips:
The lake has a good population of larger perch. Ice fishing in the winter with a balance pole can yield large perch. Also good jig fishing from the rocks to the left of the pool. Otherwise, pike and whitefish are also present. Zander has been introduced but the recapture of zander has been minimal.
Keep this in mind: preferably keep perch in the mid-range of 2-5 kilograms, the large perch over 1 kilogram are important for the stocks and are also not that good to eat.
Release them back!
Other:
The lake partly borders the Flaten nature reserve. The entire lake is covered by shore protection.
Crayfish fishing permits are available for purchase. No organized crayfish fishing, you are responsible for your own equipment and knowledge. Fishing permits are sold for Wednesdays and Fridays during August and September.
