About the fishing here

Emån is one of south-east Sweden's finest salmon rivers, winding through Småland out to the Baltic at Emsfors. Baltic salmon and sea trout run up in autumn, while the calm lower reaches are known for unusually large pike. The salmon beats have their own permits and protected zones that vary from stretch to stretch, so read up on the exact beat you want to fish.

Anglers here regularly land Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon, European Perch, Ide and Asp.

Northern Pike fishing is usually best 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.
