Lake Väsman is bordered by high mountain ridges which give a special impression to the viewer when standing at the viewpoint at Lekomberg.Some ten islands with names such as Sollen, Bärholmarna, Granön, Lövön and a number of long headlands give the lake character. Granön is a nature reserve, while Lövön has had permanent residents since time immemorial. Shipping was busy at the beginning of the 1900s. This 'forest lake', with its steep forest-clad ridges where villages grew up around the lake. Great depths, and shallow sections here and there, give variety to the lake's inhabitants. Fishing was an important livelihood for many people, especially during the war years.Native crayfish also existed in the past but are now rare in the lake; instead, signal crayfish have progressed strongly.Now angling, mainly through trolling, is a common sight on the lake, where fishing is mainly for pike, perch, char and trout. There is plenty of room on the 45,7 square kilometre inland lake.Among known species of different fish, pike, whitefish, roach, perch, burbot, bream, trout, char, asp, ide, elritsa, smelt and ruffe may be mentioned. The lake's whitefish means small whitefish and large whitefish, the latter of which can weigh several kilos. 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 Väsmans FVOF. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 17 years. Only when accompanied by guardian/adult Only resident children. Väsmans Fisheries Management Area Association manages fishing in Lake Väsman in Dalarna.
