Description from the source
Show the full source description

Öresjö is perhaps one of Sweden's best ice-fishing lakes. In the larger competitions, the winners usually pull up over 10 kg! The permit for Öresjö is also valid in Viskan up to Örebro and in Stora and Lilla Tosserydssjön. A separate permit provides the opportunity to fish in Munkån and Svensån. On a trial basis in 2019, there is also a separate “Viskan” permit for the part of Viskan where one can fish when at Mölarps ö (See PDF map). Öresjö contains perch, bream, pike, ruffe, zander, burbot, roach, vendace, vendace fry and eel. Munkån and Svensån contain, among other species, trout. Öresjö has been Borås's drinking-water source since 1932. This is why it is prohibited to operate 2-stroke engines on Öresjö. The area is not affected by acidification. The fisheries conservation area is included in the municipal fishing permit. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15.
