Wadets fiskekortsområde

The Västergarnsån River attracts many anglers of all ages every year.
The Wadet community association sells fishing licenses for the stretch from a marking 150 meters upstream of Västergarn harbor to the highway bridge (road 140), a stretch of about 800 meters.

The fishing license stretch in the Västergarnsån River is easily accessible and is ideal for both large and small anglers, regardless of previous fishing experience.
The area is also family-friendly with a nice barbecue area nearby and walking areas along the shore of the Baltic Sea.

The proximity to the mouth of the sea and the ability for migratory fish to swim unhindered in and out of the river means that fishing can vary greatly from day to day.
Timing can therefore often be the deciding factor!
Regardless of whether you hit the right day or not, the river is simply a very pleasant fishing water with beautiful surrounding nature and rich bird life.
Common species include perch, pike, ide, roach, roach and tench.

NOTE: All fishing upstream of the highway bridge (road 140) and in Paviken has been prohibited since 2018. The ban applies year-round.
The Västergarnsån River is one of the important watercourses that wild sea trout migrate up to spawn every autumn.
Respect the sea trout conservation period from October 1 to December 31 and do not fish directly for trout in the river during the rest of the year.
Any caught trout should always be carefully released.
Year-round release also applies to pike.

Remember to take ALL trash home after you finish fishing, this applies to everything from empty cans to fishing lines.
This is especially important because the grazing animals in the fishing area otherwise run a high risk of getting entangled in fishing lines and injuring themselves on left-over debris.
Show respect for animals and nature.
Keep it clean and tidy and you will contribute to everyone having a pleasant experience! Västergarnsån Included in the fishing license
