Messlingens FVOF

Welcome to Messlingen's fish conservation area!

Our waters contain trout, char, brown trout, perch, roach, brook trout (planted), minnow and rockfish.

The Messlingssjön is 5 km long and in the middle of the lake it is 10-40 m deep. The lake contains large trout that can be difficult to catch, there are plenty of smaller trout. Perch are numerous and weights of up to 1 kg are not uncommon. Char is found all over the lake, the occurrence of smaller char is large but in recent years the average weight has increased and fish between 200-500 g are often caught when fishing with ice in the winter.

The Midtåne upstream and downstream is good trout water and it is great for fly fishing, trolling/spinners and fishing with worms.
In Mittån above the lake and below the iron bridge there are good fish. Watch out for beaver tunnels following the river.

In Brändåstjärn , 350 smaller char were planted from the lake in 2019, which have since gained weight well. The association will continue to move fish from the lake to the ponds in Servdalen and Brändåstjärn.

Messlingssjön is not regulated, but downstream towards Grundsjön there is a fishing barrier that prevents whitefish (and unfortunately all fish) from moving up Mittån. We are now investigating the possibility of creating a passage that prevents whitefish but allows other species to move up the river.

We have improved accessibility, repaired and built new bridges.
