Hook iron
Pike, roach and planted trout (a little). Wind shelter 150m from forest road. Clean beaches, occasional trout may remain from previous releases.

Perch iron
Stocked trout in batches, rainbow trout (2013), grayling (2024) and perch in a centipede population. 3 Ha. Wind shelter 400m from the forest road. Partially marshy shores, occasional rainbow trout from previous stocking may still be present. Trout and perch dominate. Feel free to kill all smaller (<20cm) caught perch as the population is of a centipede character. The trout in the pond grow relatively slowly and rarely reach weights over 1kg. Scenic and calming character at the pond. Maybe you will see the osprey nesting nearby?

Stenbite iron
Natural and planted trout every other year, preferably as 1-year-old fish. 15 Ha. Wind protection. Mostly marshy shores that are well suited for back-casting with a fly rod! Very high quality, relatively good growth and average size of the trout. Fishing can be demanding at times with carefully counted and selective fish. Visitors are advised to show special consideration when fishing in the pond to preserve the fine fishing that prevails. Bring mosquito repellent!

Eastern Kortingvattnet (Lake Ystersjön)
Natural trout and centipede perch stock. 69 Ha. Wind shelter. Mostly solid shores. Traditionally the eastern side of the lake is considered the best for trout fishing. The trout (characteristically bronze colored) in the pond can grow quite large and historically individuals up to 3kg have been caught. Please kill any smaller (<20cm) perch caught as the stock is centipede in nature.

Western Kortingvattnet (Åkerbergsjön)
Pike, perch, roach. 63 Ha. Mostly solid shores. The lake has good perch/pike fishing and the perch in particular can grow really big.

The water of the valley
Pike, perch, roach. Wind shelter on Sandholmen. Good perch and pike fishing. Rarely were the largest individuals caught in the lake but the quality of the fish is very good!

Kultran (small river)
3 rapids. Pike and perch. Trout and grayling introduced in batches, preferably as swimming fry and one-year-old fish. A weak natural remnant population of trout exists. Nice small river with a winding character and a few shorter rapids. The population of trout and grayling is weak so don't count on any large catches of these species. Perch fishing in deeper hollows and below the rapids can be really good with nice catches! Maybe you'll see one of the river's many beavers?

Hällbymagasinet
Pike, perch, roach, whitefish, and some introduced trout. 263 Ha. Rest area, barbecue, boat launch, shelter, swimming area. Dammed part of the Ångermanälven that has very good fishing for perch and pike. Björksele's part of Hällbymagasinet is considered one of the better places for really big perch. However, they can be difficult to find in the large areas that prevail. A tip is to fish near the "floating tufts" that exist. Every year, individuals over 1.5kg are landed! Good and organized fishing for families with children is available at the swimming area.

Grabboksjöbäcken and other streams flowing into Kultran
Smaller tributaries to Kultran, all of which hold stream-stationary stocks of trout. In Grabboksjöbäcken, the trout stock is abundant and dense but small-sized with few specimens larger than 2kg.
