Lake Volgsjön Fvo contains a number of lakes of traditional Swedish type with Pike and Perch as a base but also has a solid population of Trout, Grayling and Whitefish, these mainly stay along the channel of Lake Volgsjön (from Bullerforsen to Volgsjöfors).
Trout/Harr are also found in abundance at Volgsjön's tributaries and other streams, the areas marked with rings on the attached map which you will find further down on this page (window extraction also applies here, see below under catch restrictions).

The lakes within the fisheries management area are relatively shallow and rich in nutrients, for example the greatest depth in Lake Volg is about 17 m.
