Description from the source
Show the full source description

Sävarån is managed by Sävaråns Fvo and fishing is available along a long stretch. The fishing permit applies from the freshwater boundary at Skeppsvik all the way to just upstream of Botsmark. At the fishing boundary upstream of Botsmark, Holmen Skog AB is the sole fishing-rights owner and fishing is not available to the public. Sävarån has been restored since 2011. Recently, the area between the bridges in Sävar was restored with good results. The rapid was previously more or less “unsuitable”, both as fish habitat and for those of us who wanted to fish there. Now it is considerably better both for the fish and for those interested in fishing. For those who only want to fish in Skeppsvik, there is a separate fishing permit. The permit applies from Skeppsvik up to where the E4 bridge crosses Sävarån just downstream of Sävar village. With the ordinary Sävarån permits, you may fish throughout Sävaråns FVO, including Skeppsvik. Other information. At present, no monitoring of upstream migration takes place at the fish ladder at Krokbäcksfallet. Neither Gravmarks village nor Fvo can find people able to volunteer. The fish can therefore pass without human interference, which in many cases may be beneficial. It is unfortunate for the visitor area and the statistics, but the main thing is that the fish can pass and continue upstream to spawn. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15. The parent/guardian must have read and approved the applicable fishing rules and regulations. Children up to 15 fish free if a parent/guardian has a valid fishing permit.
