Fishing in Värnamo

Fishing in Värnamo Municipality!

In Värnamo Municipality you will find very exciting waters with most of our Swedish fish species. In several of the lakes it is possible to rent a boat or launch your own boat.

Vidöstern is a large lake with an equally large species variety. Both pike and pike over ten kilos have been caught, and there are good stocks of bream, roach, eel and tench for the angler. There are also plenty of sandy beaches by the lake for those who want to take a relaxing break from fishing.

Other lakes that are worth visiting are, for example, Rusken, known for its rich pike stock, and Furen. Furen holds eight different species, of which pike and pike perch are perhaps the most interesting. Two lakes where both trolling and vertical fishing are effective methods for good catches!

If you want a real challenge, then go to Bolmen! Sweden's tenth largest lake, which contains a whopping 26 different species. The most common are pike, zander and perch, all of which are found in large numbers! The endless bays and islands provide fine biotopes for large fish, and a beautiful environment for fishermen.

Flåren is also well worth a visit. A rocky lake with an archipelago feel and fine stocks of pike, zander and perch.

For fly fishermen, Kalvsjön in the eastern part of the municipality is recommended. Here you can find fantastic rainbows and trout in a scenic environment!

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.
