Welcome to Gislaved Municipality!
In Gislaved Municipality there are 25 fishing areas with 388 lakes where exciting and fine fishing for perch, pike and zander is offered, but also a lot of other fish too. These fish species can be caught in several different ways, for example with spin fishing, regular angling or trolling.
There are many lakes where you can go out by boat on a warm summer day and try your luck at fishing. The species-rich river Nissan, which is one of southern Sweden's longest rivers, flows through Gislaved Municipality, where your fishing skills will really be put to the test. There is the opportunity to fish for eels that are out at night or for large pikes during the day.
Lake Fegen in the western part of the municipality is an interesting lake with its beautiful nature, rich bird life and fine fishing. Large pike and large zander swim here, among other things!
In Storasjön's fishing area you can fish in five lakes on the same fishing license. Here there are fine stocks of pike, zander and perch, but angling for tench, eel and roach is also recommended.
Lake Bolmen, which is located in the southeastern part of the Gislaved municipality, is Sweden's tenth largest lake and very species-rich. The lake's many bays and islands are perfect haunts for really big pike and zander, and a fantastic environment to fish in! For example, try vertical fishing for great pike or go into a bay and spin fishing for old pike!
When fishing and staying in nature, the right of public access applies, which means freedom but also consideration and responsibility. Eels are found in some of the municipality's lakes. Eel fishing is permitted more than three definitive migration barriers from the sea, but the minimum size is 70 centimeters in all waters.
