About the fishing here

Ätran is one of the west coast's classic salmon rivers, running through Halland out to the Kattegat at Falkenberg. Salmon and sea trout run up from the sea, with the best fishing often in summer and autumn, while pike and perch hold in the calmer stretches. Flow drives the fishing, a river freshened by rain often brings the fish up.

Popular catches here include Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon and European Perch.

For Northern Pike, the fishing tends to peak around Apr-May, Sep-Oct. The best windows are usually dawn and dusk.

A fishing permit (fiskekort) is required here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
