Gräsmångens FVOF

Gräsmången's FVOF includes Lake Gräsmången, as well as Kalven and Skärgesälven in the northern part. It is located within three municipalities, Hagfors, Karlstad and Forshaga Municipality. The lake is surrounded by woodland; the water is slightly brownish from humus substances. Largely rocky bottom with some shallows. Reeds and other aquatic vegetation are sparse. Mainly pike and perch are fished, which can sometimes be very rewarding. Gräsmången is a water source for the village of Östanås, Älvsbacka. It is relatively tightly regulated, with occasionally low water levels. Liming is done regularly. A boat launch is located in Gällsviken. It has a concrete slab at the bottom, and was completed in the fall of 2022. A depth map can be downloaded from the Hagfors Municipality website. The area is 433 hectares, including Kalven (17 hectares), and the greatest measured depth is 28 meters.
