Linsell-Ransjö FVO

Keep in mind that we may have poor coverage in some places, so save your fishing license as a picture.

Linsell and Ransjö are located in the middle of beautiful Härjedalen. The villages are located on the shore of Ljusnan , with the mighty Sonfjälls massif in the background. The area is known for fantastic fishing in both rapids and calm waters, a rich wildlife and magnificent nature. Here there are unimaginable opportunities for relaxation, but also for an active and eventful outdoor life.

Where the Light flows through Linsell-Ransjö FVO are some of the upper Ljusnan's last natural rapids and streams. Here are fine grayling, trout and roach. In addition to Ljusnan, about 25 km of the lower part of Rånden is also included. Valmen is a tributary to Rånden, about 10 km of Valmen is included in the Linsell-Ransjö Fiskevårdsområde up towards Sonfjället. The fish species found within the FVO are not only grayling and trout. In the calmer parts of Ljusnan and in Linsellsjön there are pike, whitefish and perch.

• The Ljusnan area: The area stretches from Ortholmen in the north to just below the falls in Linsellborren , a distance of about 25 km. There are many good fishing spots here, but perhaps we would especially like to mention Ransjöforsen , Sveaforsen and Linsellborren. In addition to the valuable fish, there are opportunities to catch nice perch and large pike.
  
• Rånden: Rånden is a shallow, undeveloped river with many fine stretches where grayling and trout are found. Rånden is a very popular river that attracts fishermen from central and southern Sweden. It has been restored after being cleared of stones when the rafting was underway.
  
• Valmen: Valmen is a tributary to Rånden. It is Valmen, or Valmån, that attracts fly fishermen who want grayling on the hook.
  
• Ponds : In addition to the flowing waters in the area, there are a few ponds where fish are stocked. Depending on availability, char is stocked in one pond, rainbow trout is stocked in another pond, and trout is stocked in 4 ponds. We stock fish in these ponds at the end of May and in October.
