Lekvattnets FVOF

Welcome to Lekvattnet if you are keen on fishing.

Updated: 2025-11-29.

---------‐--------------------------------

About 2.5 cm of ice on Pägertjärn today, November 29th.

I couldn't go out at all for thickness control.

Just waiting and hoping for freezing temperatures.

‐--------------------------------------------

From midnight today, October 29th, Pägertjärn is closed to all fishing.

This means that fishing is prohibited in Pägertjärn.

Reopens for the winter premiere which will be announced here.

------------‐--------------------------------

Note:

From September 1st to December 1st, all fishing is prohibited in the following waters:

Runnsjön, Stortjärn, Lilltjärn, Sniptjärn, Horntjärn, Örsjön, Sandsjön, Lysen and all our streams.

Violations will be punished according to our rules.

------------------------------

Now there are new fish exposed in Pägertjärn.

If you want to try your luck, just buy a fishing license and try it.

Shit fishing :-)

-------------------‐-----------

There is now a boat for rent in Runnsjön.

It is white on the outside with blue railings and is located at the north end.

If the boat is unlocked and used without a valid contract, the incident will be reported to the police as theft.

You rent it the same way you buy a fishing license here at ifiske.

Please note that the rental ends at the end of August.

due to the fishing ban that comes into effect on September 1st.

----------------------------------------

A tip:

Out here in the "wilderness", not all mobile subscriptions work, due to poor coverage.

Remember that if you are going to buy a fishing license at ifiske.se with your mobile phone, do it where you know you have mobile coverage.

The excuse "no coverage" is not good enough for a fishing license check.

------------------------------------------------

Novelty:

People over the age of 80 fish for free in our entire area EXCEPT Pägertjärn.
However, you must be able to identify yourself to the supervisor during a fishing license check.
If identification cannot be proven during fishing, the act is considered "illegal fishing".
__________________________

Inspection fee:

The board has decided that the control fee is 3500 SEK if someone is caught violating our local rules, for example exceeding the card quota of 2 game fish/card or using more rods at the same time than 2.

• When the card quota of 2 fish is filled, fishing must be stopped immediately or a new fishing license must be obtained before continuing fishing.
  (However, this does not apply to premiums as only 1 card/person may be purchased on this day).

• On the opening day, fishing will end when the card quota is filled with 2 prize fish/card.

-----------------------------------

Please note :
From January 1, 2022, a bag limit / daily quota of 3 game fish / day and person was introduced for Runnsjön, Stortjärn, Lilltjärn and Matlöpen.

This means that only 3 valuable fish may be killed, then fishing will end for the day.
It is therefore prohibited to continue fishing after the daily quota has been filled.
Noble fish = Char, Trout.

_____________________________

Runnsjön:

Please note: The southern road from Lekvattnet to Runnsjön (the one that many GPS's refer to) is not passable and should not be used, it is a private forest road for tractors.

Instead, go from Lekvattnet on road 939 towards Östmark, after 10.5 km there are signs for Runnsjön.
If you are coming from Östmark, drive 1.5 km south on road 939 towards Lekvattnet where you turn in at the sign "Runnsjön".
This gravel road is plowed in the winter due to permanent residence.

___________________

Matlöpen : The road to Matlöpen is usually not plowed in winter.

When there is a lot of snow, it is easiest to reach by snowmobile.
On the edge of spring, when the frost has melted, the road to Matlöpen is closed with a barrier.
