Description from the source
Show the full source description

Lake Lygnern is located in northern Halland and Marks Municipality. The lake is 20 km long and about 2,5 km wide and at its deepest point measures 50 metres. In many respects the lake resembles Vättern, with deep water, steep shores and unpredictable behaviour in unsettled weather conditions. It is known for its good pike fishing and unique trout population. Lygnern's trout population has been threatened by, among other things, hydropower development and acidification in inflowing watercourses. Today, thanks to extensive liming and diligent fishery management work, the trout population is increasing. The population in the lake is genuine and naturally reproducing. The average size of a trout from Lygnern is around 1,5 kg, with fish up to 7 kg occurring. Other species worth mentioning are whitefish, perch, eel, bream and smelt. In Lygnern people preferably fish from a boat, (hire a boat in Sätila), but in several places there are also good opportunities to fish, mainly for trout, from the bank. Lygnern drains via Sundsjön to the sea through Rolfsån, which flows into Kungsbackafjorden. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 14. Young people under 15 fish free under the same conditions as permit purchasers. Lygnernregionens FVOF works for sustainable fishing and good fishery management.
