Gotham River

The fishing stretch in Gothemsån at Åminne extends from the road bridge (road 146) and downstream to a straight line between Gothemsån's estuary headlands, a distance of about 1.3 km.

The area is open for fishing all year round and the close connection to the sea means that there are great opportunities for varied fishing for a number of different species and with different methods.

Historically, Gothemsån is perhaps best known for its ice fishing during early spring, but species such as pike, perch, tench, roach, silver rudd and tench also usually swim in the river.

Keep in mind that it is not allowed to take up any pike or trout and from 1/3-31/5 all perches must also be released back. At other times, a maximum catch of 3 perches under 30 cm per fisherman per day applies.

Gothemsån and its tributaries constitute large and important areas for sea trout's opportunities to reproduce.

During the fall, the sea trout migrate up the river with the aim of spawning. It is common for sea trout to stay in the river both before and after spawning, which can lead to one or two getting stuck on the hook.

Should you catch a trout on the hook, it must always, without exception, be released again!
