A large part of the Öjån, which is one of the most important tributaries of the Ammerån, flows through the Yxskaftkälen Fiskevårdsområde.
Here you can fish for grayling and trout in an unregulated river with fine silts and currents. Within the fishery conservation area there are also several lakes of varying sizes with a large number of perch and in some cases pike.
Öjån and some ponds are easily accessible from the village of Yxskaftkälen and various forest roads. In winter, most of the ponds are easily accessible via snowmobile tracks/trails.
Skarpabborrtjärnen and Stortjärnen are put and take waters. At Skarpabbortjärnen there is a pier that is accessible. At both there is a windbreak. At the moment there is no fish exposed and both waters are currently included in the general annual pass.
