The area is known for its very good fishing both summer and winter. Help us improve it further by following the rules below.
1. Fishing is permitted as sport fishing with hand gear, rod, line and hook. Only one rod per person and fishing license. Permitted fishing methods: fly fishing, spin fishing, ice fishing, angling and trolling. Fishing with nets and other fishing methods, in addition to those listed above, are prohibited in all waters.
2. The fisheries management area may decide on temporary fishing bans in certain waters. Fishing ban information is posted at each water and on our website, and fishing license sellers must inform you where fishing bans apply at each time.
3. Fishing for trout is prohibited in flowing waters and in lakes and sels within a distance of 200m from their inlets and outlets during the period 1 Sept. – 31 Oct. Also applies to Säterdammarna. Fishing for grayling is prohibited during the period 1 April to 30 May.
