Barkensjöarnas FVOF

All restrictions due to African Swine Fever have now been lifted, according to the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

The area's waters span over Barken's 3,000 hectares to smaller forest lakes of only a few hectares. The stock in the area consists mainly of pike, perch, roach and whitefish. In addition, salmon, trout, pike-perch and whitefish are found in lakes no. 2, 5, 6 and 7. Good stocks of whitefish are found in no. 2, 5 and 18. (See map for explanation of numbers.)

The bark
Barken actually consists of 3 lakes; Norra Barken which stretches from Smedjebacken to the bridge in Söderbärke, Mellan-Barken (between Söderbärke and Huggnora) and Södra Barken . Note that on some maps Mellan-Barken is also marked as Södra Barken, which can be a bit confusing, as 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 pike perch and trolling fishermen in particular sometimes make good catches. Trout are also caught. There are good-sized pike (Fiske För Alla No. 5, 2011 listed Norra Barken as one of Sweden's better pike waters). The lake is also known as a good perch lake. In ice fishing competitions, the winning weights are usually high. It is perhaps less well known that the lake also hosts some very large perch.

Flaten P&T (put and take water)
Continuous stocking of ready-to-catch rainbow trout, trout and char. The lake is very popular, during the ice season as well as other parts of the year.
Only fishing licenses marked " Day license - Flaten P&T" are valid for fishing in Lake Flaten. Can also be purchased at a card machine at the lake. Rules for the water are available at the lake. Day licenses are only valid until midnight, and not as before for 24 hours!
Price 200kr
Max. 3 fish per card, and max. 2 cards per day and per person.

There is now (30/1) about 1 dm of snow on the road, but it shouldn't be a problem to get up there by car.

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 a different and challenging fishing. If you want directions or tips, contact the lake manager on 0736-993018. It is possible to organize fishing competitions in the lake, with up to 10 places. There is a road barrier that is sometimes locked, but for competitions we can make sure to unlock the entrance and exit.
NOTE! This only applies to fishing with a hook without barbs, and mandatory catch reporting to iFiske.se or directly to the board!
