The beautiful Säveån River flows through beautiful natural areas and lovely stretches of stream, and empties into the Göta River at the Port of Gothenburg. The river offers fishing for both salmon and trout. The annual catch of salmon normally varies between 50 and 100 individuals, depending on water flow and weather conditions, and the average weight is over 5 kg. Salmon fishing is managed by the Sportfiskarna.

Säveån's salmon have been assessed as one of the few remaining genuine salmon stocks in the country. Säveån has also been classified as of national interest according to the Natural Resources Act because of this, which is why Natura 2000 areas and nature reserves have been formed.
During the seasons that the Sportfiskarna has allowed fishing, many salmon over 10 kg have been caught. The largest so far was caught in 2005 and weighed 17.64 kg. During breeding fishing, a male salmon of 21 kg and several salmon around 15 kg have been caught.
