Fishing tips

A large forest river. Brown trout and grayling take a fly and light lure in current edges and pools.
The maximum size applies: brown trout over 30 cm and grayling over 35 cm must be released, and you may keep at most one fish over the maximum size per day. The Vänern salmon is protected and must be released carefully. Stained water, so slightly warmer colours often stand out.
