Södra Sämsjöns FVOF The fishing water owners decided at the annual general meeting to ban live bait on fishing boats in the lake. The ban will apply from June 1, 2026. The fishing water owners ask all fishermen to report all their fishing and catch. Reporting is important for the lake's long-term fisheries management plan. The card is valid for hand gear fishing and trolling with a maximum of two rods, as well as for ice fishing with a maximum of 10 fishing rods or ice bait rods. For the period between September 1st and May 15th, additional cards to annual cards, for fishing with a maximum of 4 rod holders, can be purchased. Only through iFiske.se Children under 16 years of age are allowed to fish for free with the same regulations as for fishing licenses. The board urges careful handling of all fish to promote fish stocks and ensure good fishing in the future. If you want to take back caught fish, the following maximum catch per fishing license/species/day applies: Two (2) pikes. All pikes over 80 cm must be released. Two (2) pike-perch. All pike-perch over 70 cm must be released. Pike-perch fishing in water deeper than eight (8) meters is prohibited. There is a pike-perch fishing ban from May 15 to June 15. The fishing ban for trout applies throughout the year as the trout stock is building up. All fishing in Sämån is prohibited. A trout project is underway. • The fishing license is personal and must always be carried along with an ID document when fishing. • All fishing and all fishing methods not specified above are prohibited. • Anyone who fishes without a valid fishing license is punished according to Swedish law. • In the event of a violation of other rules, a control fee of at least SEK 1,000 may be issued on the spot by a fishing inspector.

Description from the source
Show the full source description

Södra Sämsjön is a long and beautiful lake. It extends between Månstad in the south and Vegby in the north. The lake bed varies from shallow, vegetated bottoms to deep areas where 28 metres is the deepest. One of the deepest lakes in Sjuhäradsbygden. The lake offers varied and exciting fishing. The lake is known for its well-grown pike and large perch. Pike fishing has in recent years become a tourist attraction. The opportunities for fishing from land are good, and if you fish from a boat you have much to explore as there is great variation in depth and bottom type. Printed, updated depth maps are available. They have been produced using modern technology and are very detailed. The map is sold in local sport-fishing shops, at the bookshop, at Ulricehamn tourist office and at Cafè Sjöparken in a laminated version for best handling on land, in a boat or on the ice. The depth map is also available in digital form for Lowrace plotters. See the contacts below for information or purchase. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15. Must carry valid identification
