A valid fishing license is required for fishing in Hökesjön. Children and young people up to the age of 15 do not need a fishing license, but must still follow the rules and good fishing practices that apply in the area. 

  • A fishing license entitles you to rod fishing in Hökesjön. Fishing in inflowing and outflowing water is not permitted, which is also shown on the map.
  • A fishing license is personal, unless otherwise stated for a specific card. It must always be carried when fishing and shown to a supervisor upon request.
  • When fishing, the number of fishing rods per participant is limited to two. 
  • For winter fishing, a maximum of five fishing rods per person and occasion applies.
  • Brown trout, trout and char must be released. These species must also be reported. 
  • Pike over 90 cm must be released. 
  • Perch over 32 cm must be released.
  • Signal crayfish may only be fished by fishing rights holders.

Violations of these regulations will be prosecuted and will result in an inspection fee for everyone.

General rules of conduct

  • The well-being of the fish & nature always comes first; the fish and nature must be handled as gently as possible. Any fish that meets the rules on minimum/maximum dimensions and should be kept must be killed immediately.
  • Also respect the people who live around the lake. This means that a minimum distance of 15 meters must be kept from private plots and piers, and that casting never may be done in the direction of or near where other people are. This also applies when trolling past swimming areas, where the path of the fishing line must not cross any swimmers.

These rules apply to
