Abundant occurrence of g&a ... Welcome to Västra Valbo FVOF and the uppermost part of Gavleån! The area extends from downstream of Forsbacka bruk to above Åbyfors power station. Fishing is directed primarily at pike, perch and zander. Pike and perch are abundant, while zander are more scarce. Many different cyprinid species swim in enormous numbers in the river, so there is food in abundance for the predators! There is a small and vulnerable population of trout in the northern branch of the river from the upper and middle dam down to Gadö. Occasional grayling may also be encountered there. Measures involving habitat management and stocking are carried out annually to strengthen the population. This stretch is now open for barbless spin and fly fishing with compulsory release of trout and grayling; see fishing rules and map for area markings. Boat berths are available to hire; contact us to be assigned a number. Payment and extension of an existing boat berth is made here at iFiske. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 16. Young people up to and including 16 years fish free.
