Sävelången is an exciting lake with the chance of large specimens of almost all species.
The perch reaches a high average weight because the lake has a large population of sablefish, which spawn in early May at Norsesund. In Sävelången, a number of trout over 5 kilos have also been caught - the largest at about 12 kg. Nowadays, the trout population is dwindling due to the fact that no trout spawn can be released anymore and natural reproduction is weak.
Good places to fish are around Nääs bridge where it is possible to conduct successful fishing from the wooden jetty. Large pike, perch and now also zander are best caught out in the open water. The Sävelången record for pike is 18 kilos, one of the largest pike caught in the Gothenburg region. Perhaps the best perch spots can be found next to the 15-meter shallows at Ingared and the shallows outside Tollered. Here, sablefish are found both summer and winter. It is also possible to have good lake fishing in Sävelången, but this fishing is quite unexplored. Ice fishing can be good for both pike and perch, but currents under the ice make it tricky! Håvaredsviken is, however, a relatively ice-safe and popular area..
At Nääs bridge there is a cafe and the beautiful and easily accessible fishing pier which is a very good fishing spot. There is also a boat launch ramp at Nääs.
Sävelången is also well located for those who do not have access to a car. It is easy to go to the local train stations Floda and Norsesund, both of which are located next to good fishing spots.
Area: 570 ha.
