Go fishing in Klarälven, welcome to Hagfors Tourist Information to buy a fishing license!
The area covers about 70 km of the river Klarälven from the municipal border in the north just south of the Åstrandsbridge to the municipal border in the south towards Munkfors municipality by Enån. In addition we find some tributaries of which Acksjön and Acksjöälven is the greatest.
Klarälvens FVOF offers the general public fishing against payment of fee. Age limit 16 years. Within the distance there are five power plants that affect the fishing. Upstream it is calmer water while downstream rapids are formed which are partially suitable for fly fishing.
Winter fishing? FVOF would not like to recommend ice fishing since the water level in the river always varies and treacherous currents are produced which affect the ice.
Fishing licenses are available for purchase at Hagfors Tourist Information and adjacent shops.
