Västra Silen is a well-known recreational fishing water and one of the largest lakes in the Dalsland Canal lake system. It is located between the lakes Lelång and Östra Silen in north-western Dalsland and south-eastern Värmland. You can pass through locks by boat to Västra Silen from Lelång or Östra Silen, or launch a trailer boat at one of the lake's many boat ramps. A very exciting lake for the recreational angler! Västra Silen is a clear-water lake with both deep areas and some bays and larger shallow inlets. Large parts of the lake's shores consist of cliffs and mountains. In the middle part of the lake, it almost has an archipelago feel. Here there are abundant islands, but also islets and skerries, particularly around Gustavsfors and in the northern part of the lake nearest Årjäng. The lake's surface is divided approximately equally between Värmland and Dalsland. The sparse settlement around the lake, together with forested and rocky shores, creates a unique wilderness feel. Västra Silen is widest in the middle of the lake. The deepest areas of the lake are also here. The lake has a good stock primarily of perch and pike. The chance of catching salmon and trout is also good if you target your fishing accordingly. Västra Silen is a lake where everyone can find their own favourite spot depending on the fishing they prefer. Within the area there is one or more accessible fishing waters. For more information, see the fishing area's map where these points are marked, or contact Västra Silens Södra FVOF. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15. Only with handheld tackle. Cooperation between two areas, Västra Silens Norra and Södra. Separate boards. Board members from both associations form a working group.
