Quicksilver
Snålltjärn is a 12.4 m deep lake, 15 ha in size. The water is supplied through a cold spring at the bottom of the lake. The outlet, Snåltjärnsbäcken, flows into the southern part of the lake. The surrounding area consists of forest and farmland. Some recreational facilities are located in the eastern part of the lake, where the road also runs. The vegetation is dominated by sea horsetail. There are perch and pike in the lake. There is a swimming area with jetties and changing cabins.

Lake Starkesmarksjön

The lake is drained through Kvarnbäcken to Välvsjön and further to Tvärån. The vegetation consists mainly of reeds, sea horsetail and nate. The surrounding area consists of agricultural land except in the northeastern part. There are permanent buildings and holiday homes all around the lake. A road also leads around the lake, which is why it is easily accessible.
The lake is mainly home to perch, roach and pike.

Tvärån
Tvärån is a wild river that winds through the entire fishery management area.
The character of the river largely consists of calm and slow-flowing water with deep outer curves, but also some rapids and small rapids.
The river is quite difficult to fish due to the dense vegetation and the river's winding bends with steep slopes down to the water. The beaver also works diligently to fell trees along the banks, which means that a walk along the river can be difficult. But the nature is wild and impressive and on a warm summer evening you may even be lucky enough to see danica dragonflies dancing across the surface and luring the trout out of their hiding places.
Below the bridge in Orrböle there are plenty of grayling, while trout dominate above the bridge.
​​​​​​​The fish stocks in the river are sensitive as reproduction opportunities are limited and food supplies are scarce. Most fish caught in Tvärån are relatively small and do not reach the minimum size. We therefore recommend a barbless hook or a hook where the barb is pinched in. Also, the fish that are released are handled carefully and with wet hands.

Lake Välvsjön
Välvsjön mostly has clear and fine water. It is 26 ha in size and has a maximum depth of 9.5 m. The outlet and inlet are in Kvarnbäcken in the western part of the lake. The shores are solid and wooded. The vegetation consists of reeds, sea horsetail, nate and water lily. The lake has no road connection and only one holiday home on the shore. Perch and pike dominate.

West Lake
Västsjön is a forest lake without a road or buildings and with rugged, partly marshy shores. It is 16 ha in size and with a maximum depth of 12.4 m. The lake is dominated by perch. It is possible to fish from the shore in some places, but a boat is recommended.
