Welcome to Messlingen's fishing area!
Our waters contain trout, char, brook trout, perch, roach, brook trout (planted), minnow and chub.
Messlingssjön is 5 km long and in the middle of the lake it is 10-40 m deep. The lake contains large trout that can be difficult to catch, but there are plenty of smaller trout. Perch are numerous and weights of up to 1 kg are not uncommon. Char is found all over the lake, the occurrence of smaller char is large but in recent years the average weight has increased and fish between 200-500 g are often caught on ice fishing in winter.
Mittån upstream and downstream is good trout water and it bites on fly, trolling/spinner and angling with worms. In Mittån above the lake and below the iron bridge there are good fish. Watch out for beaver tunnels after the river.
In Brändåstjärn, 350 smaller char were planted from the lake in 2019, which have since gained weight well. The association will continue to move fish from the lake to the ponds in Servdalen and Brändåstjärn.
Lake Messlingsjön is not regulated, but downstream towards Grundsjön there is a fishing barrier that prevents whitefish (and unfortunately all fish) from moving up the Mittån. We are now investigating the possibility of creating a passage that prevents whitefish but allows other species to move up the river.
We have improved the accessibility, repaired and built new bridges.
Boats can be rented at Baggården, for more information call: 0684 - 262 00
