ERKEN - NOTE! New for 2026. -A FISHING RIGHTS OWNER HAS CHOSEN TO PAUSE HIS WATER FROM FISHING IN 2026. THE AREA AFFECTED IS THE WESTERN PART OF THE MAP KRISTINEHOLM, YXLAN, ETC. SEE UPDATED MAP. THIS MEANS THAT THE AREA IS NO LONGER INCLUDED IN THE FISHING MAP FOR ERKEN.
-FROM JANUARY 2026, FISHING WITH LIVE-GIVING IS NO LONGER ALLOWED FOLLOWING THE DECISION OF THE FISHING ASSOCIATION.
Erken is Uppland's third largest lake by volume, 23 km2 in size and with a maximum depth of about 22m, surrounded in large parts by wilderness-like forest with a large element of blocky terrain. In the short fishing areas there are lots of interesting rocks and steeps to fish at, but fishing at the long reeds can also provide fantastic pike fishing!
In Erken, fishing is mainly aimed at perch, pike and zander, but fishing for the most common carp, which are typical of lakes in the agricultural landscape, can also be done successfully. The possibilities for fishing from land are limited but can be done at a few places on the northern shore, from Rörvik to Hasselhorn and from the beaches inside Svanbergaviken. At "Rumpudden", between Rörvik and Hasselhorn, there are 2 wind shelters with barbecue areas. A public and toll-free boat launch ramp is available at Vikingabyn (https://kartor.eniro.se/m/QYT6O), Svanberga! DO NOT park at the turning area, at the entrance to Vikingabyn, but parking should only be done on the entrance bed! A barrier-free ramp means that it is open, but both Svanberga boat association and Norrtälje SF would like to see that a fee of 100 SEK, or a season ticket of 500 SEK, is paid as a contribution to keeping the ramp open and maintaining it (nothing that will be checked but is done by serious users)! Follow the instructions on site!
Lommaren
A nutrient-rich and elongated lake with dense, elongated reeds. Shallow and rocky bottoms are completely absent, but there are parts on the southern shore that consist of rocks and rocks. The deepest part of the lake, about 7m, is in the area where the lake is narrowest.
In Lommaren, and at Lommarbadet at the eastern end of the lake, there are opportunities to launch boats in connection with the swimming pool's parking lot. Land fishing opportunities are largely non-existent, but can be done at some public piers in the eastern part of the lake. There are opportunities for people with reduced mobility to fish at the piers of the swimming area.
In Lommaren, fishing is mainly focused on perch, pike and zander throughout the year. Many of the lake's large perch migrate up to Lommaren from the sea after spawning via the Norrtäljeån River, then remain thanks to the good supply of food and can offer real chops winter and summer! The most common carp fish, which are typical of lakes in the agricultural landscape, are also found in large numbers.
Limmaren
A nutrient-rich and relatively shallow lake and in the relevant area the shores consist of dense reeds. In the area there are a couple of shallows and also an occurrence of rocky bottoms. In the area there is a maximum depth of about 5m.
Unfortunately, there are no public launch sites and land fishing is largely non-existent. Information can be obtained from Norrtälje Angling.
In Limmaren, fishing is mainly focused on perch, pike and zander, and especially during the winter you can have success if you want, either by ice fishing or ice fishing. The most common carp, which are typical of lakes in the agricultural landscape, are also found in large numbers.
Frötuna-Kyrksjö
"Frötunasjön" differs significantly in character compared to the other waters in the short-fishing area. The lake is partly surrounded by steep mountains and slopes and partly by flatter shores adjacent to agricultural land. The depth of the lake is then and the bottom slopes very steeply in some places. The shores partly consist of stones and rock outcrops but also of both sparse and dense reeds. There is a shallow water in the area and a maximum depth of about 15m is in the middle of the lake. On the northern shore of the lake there are opportunities to launch a smaller boat. The place is reached from the old Norrtäljevägen.
Land fishing can be done from protruding headlands/rock outcrops in the southern part of the lake, towards Lönnsvik, from both the western and eastern shores. NOTE!!! Pay attention to and respect the boundaries that separate the short-distance fishing waters from Lönnsvik's water and fishing rights holders and that it is strictly forbidden to enter private land and piers!! There are markings on both the east and west sides towards Lönnsvik, which consist of white/red painted signs (white = short-term fishing water, red = private water)”. In Frötunasjön, fishing is mainly aimed at perch, pike and zander throughout the year, and especially ice fishing can give good results. The most common carp are also present.
Malstasjön
A nutrient-rich and relatively shallow lake that is partly surrounded by steep mountains and slopes and partly by flatter beaches adjacent to agricultural land. The shallow bays to the west and east are largely covered by water lilies from early summer. There are no public launch sites, but at the swimming area, which is accessible from Malsta Kyrka's parking lot, you can easily reach the lake with a canoe or other lighter craft. Talk to the municipality and show consideration for the guests of the swimming area. Land fishing is largely non-existent, but can be done at the protruding headlands in the southern part of the lake, Degaröviken.
In Malstasjön Fishing is mainly aimed at perch, pike all year round and the most common carp fish, which are typical of lakes in the agricultural landscape, are also found in large quantities.
Rimbo Långsjö
A nutrient-rich and elongated lake with very varied shores consisting of dense or sparse and elongated reeds, stones and rock outcrops. There are several shallow and rocky areas.
In Rimbo Långsjö, and at the municipality's bathing area at the eastern end of the lake, there are opportunities to launch boats. Talk to the municipality and show consideration for the guests of the bath. Land fishing opportunities are largely non-existent from the northern shore but can be partially carried out on the southern shore.
In Rimbo Långsjö, fishing is mainly aimed at perch, pike and zander throughout the year and the most common carp fish, which are typical of lakes in the agricultural landscape, are also found in large quantities.
Norrtäljeån
From Lake Lommaren in the west The Norrtälje River flows through the city center of Norrtälje until it finally flows into the harbor of Norrtälje. The banks of the river are relatively accessible from the upper part down to the “Old Power Plant Bridge” and consist mainly of a border with alder, ash and maple. In parts, the northern bank of the upper stretch is touched by private plots and on the southern bank of the upper stretch, private plots are touched to a lesser extent. All plot land is of course forbidden to enter!! The course of the river is largely calm in the upper stretch.
The middle part of the river from just upstream of the “Old Power Plant Bridge” and down to the white bridge is also called the Society Bridge, the “Flyfishing stretch”, the river falls out about 3m which naturally creates a course from weak to strong flowing parts during medium water flow. After longer periods of rain the flow can be very high which means that some parts of the middle stretch become unsuitable for wading. The banks along the middle part consists mainly of hard surfaces which makes accessibility minimal and requires wading. Wading is only done from one side!! Follow the instructions!!
The lower part of the river extends from the bridge at Åtellet and out to the diving holes in the entrance to Norrtälje harbour, which are at the same level as the sea pier. The beaches along the lower part consist mainly of hard surfaces. Accessibility is very good!
