Foxens FVOF

Fishing rights are managed by the fisheries management area associations, which consist of the areas' fishing rights owners.
A fishing license is therefore required to fish in any of the areas' various waters.
The general fishing license covers most waters, but there are also some waters with special fishing licenses.
Find out what applies in the water in question before you start fishing. All fishing in running water is prohibited.

Please note that fishing is generally not allowed in the northern part of Foxen (Töcksfors) and the area around the fish farm in V:a Fågelvik during the period 1 May - 31 October, See Map and Rules for details

Foxen and Stora Le are home to fine stocks of mainly pike and perch, but also of several different species of whitefish. Other species that are common for sport fishing enthusiasts are trout and salmon, although this is mainly in the southern parts of the area, as well as pike perch. It is above all an extraordinary fishing for large pike that attracts anglers to Foxen and Stora Le. Individuals up to 15 kg and sometimes more are caught here every year. After pike fishing, perch fishing is the most attractive as they also grow very large in the lakes. The Struven/Stora Le and Foxen fishery management areas protect long-term sustainable fishing, so do not catch more fish than you need. Larger fish should always be released back as carefully as possible.

For current information about rules, fishing licenses and contact information, you should always read the information on the area's notice boards and on the information boards at each fishing water.
Fishing tourism:
Within both fisheries management areas you can catch, among other things, pike, perch, roach, trout, whitefish, zander, bream, roach and some other whitefish. Pike fishing is easiest done from a boat in the summer and early autumn. In Stora Le it is possible to launch a boat at a launching ramp at Holmerudsfors harbour. There is also a natural ramp at Gördsbysand, which is located by the road between Selen and Fölsbyn. There is also a ramp in Lennartsfors and one at Sandviken in Töcksfors.
