Welcome to the sport fishing water Simsjön! Simsjön is located high up on beautiful Billingeberget, near Skövde, and offers exciting fishing all year round. It is easy to get there and you can choose from several car parks. These are at the large bathing area at the northern end of the lake, Villeviken in the middle of the western side, and in the southern part at Herrekvarn. Simsjön is a spring-fed lake with only minor inflow. The lake's surface area is 0,504 square kilometres. The maximum depth is 23,2 m. The surroundings include forest, open areas and buildings. The area contains one or more "put-and-take" fishing waters stocked with salmonid fish. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 17. Only when accompanied by a guardian/adult/person holding a valid permit (on that person's quota) The association's purpose is to conduct rational fisheries management within the association's area of operations. We strive to be an attractive fishing area for both co-owners and recreational anglers with valid permits.
