Fishing is permitted for sport fishing. That is, fishing with a rod for pleasure and recreation, not for sale. Signage at the water and instructions from the supervisor have the same validity as these rules. Fishing rules apply in case of legal liability and violations are punished. Fishing by boat and float ring is prohibited. Fishing with fishing gear is permitted but with a maximum of 8 gears per card A maximum of 2 rods per angler The eel is protected as well as the carp and must be put back into the lake
During 2026 (until further notice), Smedvattnet and Stora Grågåsvattnet are also included in the Uddevalla card, since no rainbow trout will be planted during the year. NOTE that this applies until further notice and will cease if/when planting resumes. Annual cards do not apply to these lakes if/when new rainbow trout have been planted.
New for 2026 is that Stora Örevattnet and Metsjön are no longer included in the Uddevalla card!
Special rules apply to these waters: Fishing prohibited in the stream between Smedvattnet and Örevattnet. All trout must be released Live bait fish are prohibited (including due to the risk of crayfish plague)
