Description from the source
Show the full source description

Lake Vidöstern is one of Småland's larger lakes and, with its length of 22 km, stretches from Värnamo in the north to Dörarp/Vittaryd in the south and is part of the Laganån water system. The fishing area comprises Lake Vidöstern, Färsjön, Prostsjön and Laganån downstream of Karlfors dam to Vidöstern, from Vidöstern to the power-station dam at Hallsjö, Toftaån up to Flåren. The area outside the Vidöstern community is not included. (See detailed map).The lake is classified as being of national interest for outdoor recreation and is one of southern Sweden's most popular zander-fishing lakes, with catches of over 10 kilos! Vidöstern is a large lake with good fishing for pike, zander and perch, suitable for spinning and trolling. It is also a pleasant water for coarse anglers, with bream, roach, burbot, whitefish, vendace, tench and eel.The lake has varying depths with clearly marked shallows for safer boat travel. There are well-developed ramp systems at both ends of the lake and also in the middle of the lake. Most of the lake has a sandy bottom; consequently there are many fine bathing and rest areas along the lake shore and out on the islands. Färjansö and Långö are nature reserves and special consideration must be shown there to nature and wildlife; for example, landing is prohibited on Långö during the birds' breeding season. You must obtain further information on site if mooring becomes relevant. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 17 years. A special family permit exists, and is required, which includes children's/young people's fishing. The family annual permit applies to own children up to 18 years of age. The fisheries management area comprises Lake Vidöstern, Färsjön, Prostsjön, Laganån downstream of Karlsfors dam to Vidöstern, from Vidöstern to the power-station dam at Hallsjö, Toftaån up to Lake Flåren.
