Västra Valbo FVOF

The area extends from downstream of Forsbacka mill to above Åbyfors power plant, i.e. the upper part of the Gavleån River.

Fishing is mainly focused on pike, perch and zander. Pike and perch are abundant, zander is more scarce. Many different species of whitefish swim in huge numbers in the river, so there is plenty of food for the predators!

There is also a small and fragile population of trout in the northern branch of the river from the upper and middle dams down to Gadö. Occasional grayling can also be found there. Measures are carried out annually with biotope care and releases to strengthen the population. This stretch is now open for barbless spinning and fly fishing with mandatory re-release of trout and grayling, see fishing rules and map for markings.

Boat berths are available for rent, contact us to get a number assigned. Payment and extension of existing berths are done here at iFiske.
