Fishing in Dalsland

Bengtsfors Municipality, Sweden

There are so many lakes in Dalsland that it’s an open invitation to go fishing. Sweden’s Allemansrätt (the Right of Public Access) means everyone is free to explore and take advantage of the nature, even if you are walking on private land. There are some limitations, though. If you want to go fishing for instance, you need to buy a fishing license for a small fee that allows you to fish in the lakes. You can buy the fishing license online at www.fiskekort.se or at the tourist offices. It’s a great way to relax. If you want to catch some wild salmon or trout in Lake Vänern, it might be a good idea to go with a local guide who knows where to find the catch.
