Karlsborgsortens fiske och fiskevårdsförening Important information! Temporary dietary recommendation for the consumption of fish from the southern Bothnian Sea. In consultation with the Swedish Food Agency and the County Administrative Board in Västra Götaland, the Environmental Board has drawn up a temporary dietary recommendation for the consumption of fish caught in the southern part of Lake Bothnia in the municipality of Karlsborg. The dietary recommendation is established due to elevated levels of PFAS in fish, which can have negative health effects with prolonged exposure. The dietary recommendation applies temporarily and until the Environmental Board decides otherwise. More information about the temporary dietary recommendation can be read on the Environmental Cooperation östra Skaraborg's website: Temporary dietary recommendation for the consumption of fish from the southern Bothnian lake (miljoskaraborg.se) Rules for fishing in Lake Bothnia KFFF has signed an agreement (rights of use agreement) with the Bothnian Fisheries Area Association (BoFo) and will take over the operations for fishing and fisheries management in the lake until further notice.

Max 2 fish per day (individual membership) or max 1 fish per day per angler (family membership). We see it as a matter of course that you take your rubbish with you. Show consideration for other fishermen and fishing methods. Control of fishing licenses and catches is of course between fishermen. Releasing fish must not take place between weeks 25-33 when the water is too warm, then the fish have a poor chance of survival. Our fish are living creatures, handle them carefully.
