Welcome to fishing in Ballingslövssjön and Ottarpasjön!
Here you can find perch, bream, pike perch, pike, carp, tench, eel and some catfish lurking in the bottom mud.
You can get here via highway 23 between Hässleholm and Osby. Take the exit towards Tockarp about 15 km north of Hässleholm. After 600 meters there are parking spaces at Sjömellet.
At Sjömellet, Ballingslövssjön and Ottarpasjön are connected by a navigable canal. At Sjömellet there is a nice swimming area with a bathing jetty and barbecue area. Unfortunately, it is not possible to rent/borrow a boat from the fisheries management association.
In order to ensure good water quality and safe conditions for both people and nature, the fisheries management association has had PFAS levels measured in our lakes during the summer of 2025. The results show that the levels are well below the applicable limit values, which means that we currently do not have a problem with PFAS.
We are continuously working to ensure that our lakes remain clean and safe for swimming, fishing and recreation.
