Lower Helgeån's fishing protection area is the area downstream of the hydroelectric power plant in Torsebro all the way down to the sea, a stretch of just over three miles (also part of Mjöån is included, but fishing is prohibited here).
Helge å's passage over the Kristianstadslätten offers many calm flowing stretches where both fish and fishermen can find their favorite spots. In addition to the river, you can also find two shallow lakes rich in vegetation, Araslövsjön and Hammarsjön. These periodically offer exciting fishing opportunities.
A tip is to try fishing with surface lures on a summer evening. But don't forget that both lakes are shallow and require patience to navigate ( a lot of vegetation that gets stuck in the propeller ).
The area is very species-rich and more than 35 different species have been caught in the river and in the lakes.
The most common fish you come across are tench, tench, perch, pike, roach, roach and tench.
But also rarer fish such as the monkfish, greenling, sandcreeper, river neon eye and catfish, occur in the test fish carried out by Biosphere Reserve Kristianstads Vattenrike on behalf of the county administrative board.
If you catch a moth or an eel on the hook, they must be released immediately as they are protected .
Handle all fish to be released as soon as possible. Minimum size and protection times for other species can be found under info fishing, rules on our website: www.nedrehelgean.se
Places for mooring boats are available in several places within the area, where the ramps at Kavrö, Yllan and Yngsjö are the ones most people use.
If you are fishing from a private pier, be sure that before you start fishing, check and follow the rules that the owner of the pier informs you of. Also, never leave fishing equipment behind after you fish.
