The fishing right is managed by the fishery management area associations, which consist of the areas' fishing right owners.
In order to fish in any of the areas' different waters, a fishing license is therefore required.
The overall fishing license covers most waters, but there are also some waters with special fishing licenses.
Find out what applies in the current water before you start your fishing. All fishing in running water is prohibited.
Foxen and Stora Le harbor fine populations of mainly pike and perch, but also of several different species of whitefish. Other species present for those interested in sport fishing are trout and salmon, although it is mainly in the southern parts of the area, as well as zander. Above all, it is extraordinary fishing for large pike that attracts anglers to Foxen and Stora Le. Individuals weighing up to 15 kg and sometimes more are caught here annually. After the pike fishing, it is the perch fishing that attracts as they also become very large adults in the lakes. The Struven/Stora Le and Foxen fishing conservation areas protect long-term sustainable fishing, so don't take in more fish than you need. Larger fish should always be released as gently as possible.

For up-to-date information on rules, fishing licenses and contact details, you should always read the information on the area's notice boards and on the information boards at the respective fishing waters.
