About the fishing here

Vidöstern is a large lake on the Lagan river system south of Värnamo, known as a good pike and zander water. Bays, points and shoals give it plenty of structure, and perch and bream hold in the same areas as the predators. The lake is open and can get windswept, so plan the trip around the forecast.

Anglers here regularly land Northern Pike, European Perch, Zander and Common Bream.

Northern Pike is generally most active 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.
