Welcome to Löftaån

All fishing gear is allowed, including angling. Passive bottom angling is prohibited until May 15th, to facilitate the release of fish that do not meet the standard. Only one fishing gear may be used at a time.

Number of fish: A maximum of 2 fish may be caught per card. When two fish have been caught and killed, the card is used up. The minimum size for salmon and trout is 45 cm.

NOTE! The trout premiere on April 1st is a festive day for anglers in Halland. Many shiny sea trout, so-called Greenlanders, have migrated from the sea to search for food in the rivers. The spawned sea trout are also there, which must be released if caught, as they are unsuitable as food fish. Sea trout fishing in the rivers continues until September 30th. If the spring is warm and the water temperature rises quickly, the fishing may end earlier. Then you can instead search for fish along the coast. During high water flows in August and September, the sea trout begin to migrate up the watercourses again to spawn. The sea trout spawn during October - December.
