It is surrounded by deciduous and coniferous forests except in the southern part of the lake where there is agricultural land and some buildings. A road leads around almost the entire lake. Perch dominates.
Långtjärn
Långtjärn is located in the southern part of the area and is used as a "put-and-take" water. The lake is one hectare in size and has a maximum depth of 11 m. The inlet is through a cold spring at the bottom of the lake. The road leads from the E12, signposted from the southern entrance to Tväråbäck. There is a barbecue hut, toilet and a disabled-accessible jetty at the lake. Every spring, ready-to-catch rainbow trout (from 0.8 kg) are released. The premiere fishing takes place at the beginning of June and is advertised in the local newspapers. The path to Tvärån (200m) offers the opportunity to fish for grayling and trout.
Snålltjärn
Snålltjärn is a deep lake of 12.4 m, size 15 ha. The inflow is through a cold spring on 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 seahorses. There are perch and pike in the lake. There is a swimming area with jetties and changing cabins.
Stärkesmarksjön
Stärkesmarksjön is the largest of the area's lakes in terms of surface area, 82 ha with a maximum depth of 8.4 m. The largest inflow is Torbergsbäcken, which flows into the northern part of the lake. The lake is drained through Kvarnbäcken to Välvsjön and further to Tvärån. The vegetation consists mainly of reeds, seahorses and nate. The surrounding area consists of farmland except in the northeastern part. There are permanent buildings and holiday homes all around the lake. A road also leads around the lake, which makes it easily accessible. The lake is mainly home to perch, roach and pike.
Tvärån
Tvärån is a wild river that winds its way through the entire fishing area. The river's character largely consists of calm and slow-flowing water with deep outer curves, but also some rapids and small sluices. 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 the trout dominate above the bridge. The fish stocks in the river are sensitive as the reproductive possibilities are limited and the food supply is scarce. Most of the fish caught in Tvärån are relatively small and do not reach the minimum size. We therefore recommend a barbless hook or a hook where you pinch the barb. Also, the fish that are released are handled carefully and with wet hands.
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 a holiday home on the shore. Perch and pike dominate.
Västsjön
Västsjön is a forest lake without a road and buildings and with rugged, partly marshy shores. It is 16 ha in size and has 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.
