6000 HECTARES OF FISHING WATER!The area comprises all lakes and watercourses in Leksand west of Österdalälven as well as the whole of Åhls parish and the Skvin-Histjärn catchment area to Insjön, but not Siljansnäs parish.The area is a collaboration between 2000 fishing-water owners and comprises 150 lakes and 200 smaller tarns with a total area of 6000 hectares.The area includes, for example, Storflaten, Mellanflaten, Snesen, Åskaken, Gränsen, Oppejen, Ejen, Djursjön, Sångenområdet, Flosjön, Molnbyggen, Styrsjön, Insjön and Österdalälven.Maps - To obtain more detailed information about our fisheries management area, Leksand municipality's leisure map-hiking trails and Leksand municipality's large municipal map are available for purchase.Close to - There is always a fishing water close by within Leksand-Insjöns fisheries management area. A well-developed network of forest roads makes it easy to reach most waters. For various reasons, some roads may occasionally be closed. Closed road barriers must be respected. As an angler, you have a major responsibility when these roads are used by not causing damage. If there is a risk that the road will be damaged through use, refrain from driving and take a walk instead. The more roads that are damaged, the more will be closed in the future. Respect this and use the roads sensibly.Snowmobile riding - For information on trails and rules, contact Leksands snowmobile club and follow the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's right of public access. All snowmobile riding on ploughed roads is absolutely prohibited.Log shelters and boat-launching places - When visiting the log shelters, pick up all your rubbish and take it home, and use fire sensibly. It is absolutely prohibited to saw down trees in the forest for firewood. At boat-launching places, park so that other visitors can use the launching place and so that public traffic is not disturbed. Keep clean and tidy; leave the place as you yourself would wish to find it.Fishing rules - Fishing rules are available on a separate sheet because they may change from year to year. This sheet is available from permit agents and on information boards at the waters. For digital permits on iFiske, the rules are always available at www.iFiske.se and on the permit. See also Leksand-Insjöns FVO's website.All waters in this area require a permit which must be carried and shown on request. Things to consider when fishing - Nature is only lent to us and we should save some for future generations. We therefore cannot behave in any way whatsoever when we are there. The right of public access is a gift which also entails obligations. Do not fish to fill the freezer, but take only the fish you eat that day. In this way we will have more sustainable fishing for the benefit of many others. Our lakes are not an inexhaustible resource. Do not throw fishing lines and rubbish into nature; our animals and birds are harmed by this.Permits and information - Permits can also be obtained from approx. 30 permit agents and on our website. For information, contact our permit agents and fisheries inspectors, who are listed on our website and on information boards at the waters. Within the area there is one or more accessible water. For further information, see the fishing area's map where these points are marked or contact Leksand Insjöns FVO. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15 years. Leksand Insjöns FVO is a collaboration between 2000 fishing-water owners and comprises 150 lakes and 200 smaller tarns with a total area of 6000 hectares.Many of the area's members are engaged in continuous fisheries management work. Permit agents and permit purchasers also contribute to positive development of the area. If we help each other to follow the given rules, both written and generally accepted, we will continue to have good and pleasant fishing in our waters. Leksand-Insjöns fisheries management area wishes you a pleasant fishing trip!
