Hällsjöns Fiskevårdsområde is located in the heart of Offerdal in Jämtland, with Kaxås as a natural starting point towards Hällsjön and the river towards Lillvågen and Storvågen. (NB! Fishing not allowed in Hålltjärn, Hälltjärn and Mussjön)
Hällsjöns Fiskevårdsområde covers both lake and flowing water, where Hällsjön, Storvågen, Lillvågen and Åfloån offer varied and natural fishing in a beautiful Jämtland environment. The fishery offers fishing for char, trout, grayling, whitefish, perch, pike and roach – both in lakes and in flowing water. Åfloån is particularly appreciated for its grayling and trout fishing, while the lakes are well suited for fishing from land or boat.
In order to maintain a sustainable stock, minimum dimensions of 35 cm for trout and 30 cm for grayling apply. In flowing water, a maximum of five fish may be kept per fisherman per day, of which only one is trout.
Fishing is permitted in flowing water from 1 June to 31 August. Children and young people up to and including 18 years of age fish for free, while adults need a valid fishing license. Day licenses, weekly licenses and annual licenses are available, as well as special trolling licenses for fishing with multiple rods from a boat. When fishing from a boat, a maximum of four rods may be used – for 1–2 rods the regular rate applies and for 3–4 rods a trolling license is required.
A boat mooring is available at Svea Park. The area is therefore suitable for both those who want to fish actively from a boat and those who are looking for simple and relaxing fishing from land with the family.
Wind protection, barbecue facilities and easily accessible fishing spots also make the area attractive for families with children and visitors who want to combine outdoor activities with fishing. The Hällsjöns Fiskevårdsområdesförening works actively for sustainable fishing and a vibrant countryside. The association also arranges the popular pimpel competition Hällsjöpimpeln, which has become a popular family event in Kaxås and attracts both locals and visitors every year. The focus is on caring for fish stocks, improving accessibility and creating good fishing experiences in a natural environment where tradition and fish conservation go hand in hand.
