Fishing

Lake Rottnen covers just over 3 400 hectares with plenty of islands and headlands, and is a popular water among anglers. There is an abundance of zander, pike and perch, as well as species such as whitefish, burbot, rudd and vendace.

A fishing permit is required and is most easily bought online via iFiske. Children and young people up to and including the age of 14 fish for free with spinning rod, ice jig, hook and line, fly, and lures trailed behind a rowing boat — tip-ups, ice bait fishing, trolling and vertical fishing require a separate permit.

The fishing is managed by Rottnens fiskevårdsområdesförening, the local fishery conservation association. Current rules, prices and fishing permits can be found on iFiske.
