All restrictions due to African Swine Fever are now lifted, according to the Swedish Agency for Agriculture.
The area's water spans Barken's roughly 3,000 hectares to smaller forest lakes of only a few hectares. The stock in the area mainly consists of pike, perch, tench and whitefish. In addition, salmon, trout, zander and whitefish in lakes No. 2, 5, 6 and 7. Good strains of whitefish are found in Nos. 2, 5 and 18. (See map for explanation of numbers.)

The bark
The bark actually consists of 3 lakes; Norra Barken which stretches from Smedjebacken to the bridge in Söderbärke, Middle Barken (between Söderbärke and Huggnora) and Södra Barke n. Note that on some maps, Middle Barken is also marked as Södra Barken, which can be a bit confusing, then there are a few hundred meters of Kolbäcksån between them. Vevungen and Saxen are also connected to Barken and can be reached by boat.
The lakes are best known for the fine size of zander and above all trolling fishermen sometimes make good catches. Trout are also caught. There are pike of good size (Fiske För Alla No. 5, 2011 Norra Barken listed as one of Sweden's better pike waters). The lake is also known as a good perch lake. At pimp competitions, the winning weights are usually high. It is perhaps less well known that the lake also harbors some very coarse perch.
Flaten P&T (put and take water)
Continuous stocking of ready-to-catch rainbow, trout and char. The lake is very popular, during the ice season as well as other parts of the year.
Only fishing licenses marked " Dagkort - Flaten P&T" are valid for fishing in Lake Flaten. Can also be redeemed in a card machine by the lake. Rules for the water are found at the lake. The day passes are only valid until midnight, and not for 24 hours as before!
Price SEK 200
Max. 3 fish per card, and a maximum of 2 cards per day and per person.
The road is OK, and more fish have been put in at week 40.
Carp fishing in Snuvtjärn
In this small pond, carp from Aneboda (mainly mirror carp) were planted in 2004. It would be an exaggeration to say that they grew very large, but the lake offers different and challenging fishing. If you want directions or tips, contact the marine manager on 0736-993018. It is possible to organize met competitions in the lake, with up to 12 places. There is a road barrier that is occasionally locked, but for competitions we can make sure to unlock at the entrance and exit.
ATTENTION! Here only fishing with hook without barb applies, as well as mandatory catch reporting to iFiske.se or directly to the board!
