The Mjällån Fishery

We welcome all fishermen to fish in our waters, as long as they respect the environment and keep within the regulations. On this page you can find a variety of information on The Mjällån Fishery. Among other things we have Catch Reports with information on fish caughts in the Mjällån from 1995 and forward. If you would like to report any catches, please send an e-mail to our fishing guide Börje Nyberg.
The territory of The Mjällån Fishery includes the Mjällån, Viksjöån, brooks and streams discharging its waters into these rivers, and several other tarns and lakes in the area. The main attraction is the Mjällån with its Sea Trout and Grayling. A map over the area and its waters are available.

Fish population

The fish population in the Mjällån and Viksjöån consists of Sea Trout, Trout and Grayling. The best time for fishing Sea Trout is in May-June and sometimes in the beginning of July, depending on the water level. Grayling is available throughout the season. In the other waters you can find Pike, Perch, Trout and Dace.

If the fish is too small it has to be put back. The minimum sizes for fish taken out are: Salmon 50 cm; Sea Trout in the Mjällån and Viksjöån 35 cm; Grayling 25 cm; Trout in the other waters 25 cm. Fishing for Salmon and Trout is prohibited between September 15th and October 14th.
