Spending some time in nature with a fishing rod in hand can certainly be exciting, but above all, it’s a relaxing moment in nature. While you wait for that bite, you can listen to the sounds of nature. A moment of peaceful silence, whether you’re alone or with others.

In addition, studies show that various outdoor activities offer many benefits when it comes to well-being and health—for both body and mind.

Things to Keep in Mind—That Thing About Fishing Licenses

You can’t fish just anywhere. Often, a fishing license is required, and our municipalities restrict fishing to specific lakes and waterways. But even though you can’t fish in every lake, we promise there are plenty of alternatives. In fact, there are plenty of lakes and waterways in our area. They are one of several natural resources that led to Glasriket being established right here. Here you’ll find information from the municipalities that make up Glasriket.

Rent fishing gear?

If you don't have your own fishing gear, there are several places in Glasriket where you can rent it—for a day or a longer period. And even if you already have your own gear, it can be fun to try a fishing method you haven't tried before.

Good luck fishing!

Walk along the flowing waters of the stream and look for a trout to catch on your hook, or sit in a boat on a calm lake and fish for perch.

It's easy to exercise the right of public access

Here in Sweden, we have wonderful opportunities to enjoy the country’s natural beauty. You’re free to pick berries, spend the night outdoors, or simply sit on a rock by a lake and enjoy the sound of the wind rustling through the trees. But of course, this comes with a responsibility. We need to both care for and respect our natural environment. And you know what? It’s really easy to do the right thing. The Right of Public Access. Here you can read more about what the Right of Public Access entails. Long live the Right of Public Access!
