Welcome to Lekvattnet if you are keen on fishing.Updated 05/31/2024.----------------------------------------------Novelty:People over the age of 80 fish for free in our entire area EXCEPT Pägertjärn.However, you must be able to identify yourself to a supervisor during a fishing license check.If identification cannot be proven during ongoing fishing, the act is assessed as "illegal fishing".__________________________Inspection fee:The board has decided that the control fee is SEK 3,500 if someone is caught violating our local rules, for example exceeding the card quota of 2 precious fish/card or using more rods than 2 at the same time.When the card quota of 2 fish is filled, the fishing must be ended immediately or a new fishing license must be obtained before further fishing takes place.(However, this does not apply to premieres as only 1 card/person may be purchased on this day).On the opening day, fishing must end when the card quota is filled with 2 noble fish/card.------------------------------------Note:From 1 January 2022, a bag limit / daily quota of 3 noble fish / day per person was introduced for Runnsjön, Stortjärn, Lilltjärn and Matlöpen.This means that only 3 noble fish may be killed, then the fishing must end for the day.It is therefore forbidden to continue fishing after the daily quota has been filled.Noble fish = Trout, Trout._____________________________Runnsjön:Please note: The southern road from Lekwattnet to Runnsjön (the one many GPS's refer to) is not passable and should not be used, it is a private forest road for tractors.Go instead from Lekvattnet on road 939 towards Östmark, after 10.5 km there are signs for Runnsjön.If you come from Östmark, drive 1.5 km south on road 939 towards Lekwattnet, where you turn in at the "Runnsjön" sign.This dirt road is plowed in winter due to permanent residence.___________________Matlöpen: The road is not usually plowed to Matlöpen in winter. In heavy snow, it is easiest to reach by snowmobile.------------------------------------In summer there is usually a boat to rent for SEK 150/day in Runnsjön.This is broken and under repair and therefore cannot be rented yet.You rent the boat in the following way:Click on the "Fishing License" tab.Look for "Boat hire Runnsjön" and click buy.
Important:
Every person aged over 16 and under 80 who intends to fish must purchase their own fishing license.In Pägertjärn, children up to the age of 12 fish on their guardian's fishing license.The fishing license is personal and cannot be transferred to anyone else.All day passes and boat rentals are only valid until midnight on the valid date of the card.After midnight, a new fishing license / boat rental is required.Annual passes are valid for 1 year from the date of purchase.Family cards are valid for two adults and young people permanently resident at the same address.
We are a non-profit fishing association that has our waters in a scenic environment in the "Finnskogen" next to the Norwegian border in Torsby municipality.
Our most popular fishing waters (in no particular order) are Pägertjärn, Rottnaälven, Runnsjön, Stortjärn, Matlöpen. Pägertjärn is a so-called (Put & take) water where we regularly release Rainbow.
Every year we stock Trout, Trout and Rainbow with the permission of the County Board. None of the board members have any remuneration, but all the money we receive from fishing license sales goes directly to buying fish every year for stocking or other types of fisheries conservation measures.
We have 7 trained supervisors in the area. In order to protect the trout during their spawning season and create better conditions for the reproduction of the species, there is a total fishing ban from September 1st to November 30th in the waters below.
The ban refers to all fishing in the following waters regardless of species:
Trout caught during the prohibition period in waters other than the above must be re-released.
Respect this to benefit the trout population in our waters.
Fishing licenses are also sold at the following places:
Larger groups such as school classes, companies, team building or the like can buy fishing licenses at a discounted price.
Call one of our contact persons, see below, and we will arrange a plan so that both parties are satisfied.
