Forshagaforsens FVOF

Just below the first migration barrier in the Klarälven River is the Forshagaforsen fish conservation area. Please note that from 2025 there will be no dispensary fishing for trout and salmon.

Forshagaforsen offers interesting sport fishing for several different species. Every year, several pike weighing over ten kilos are landed. Pike fishing can be done all year round, but the largest specimens are usually caught in the autumn and spring. In late autumn and winter, many people also go hunting for the large eel from the Klarälven River, and eel weighing over four kilos are not uncommon. Another fun fishing that can yield big fish during the spring is ide fishing. A simple and effective method for ide fishing is bottom fishing, and it is not impossible to catch ide weighing over three kilos in Forshagaforsen.
