Kilsbergen Sportfiske

Kilsbergen Sportfiske sits on Kilsbergen west of Örebro, with two salmonid areas a stretch apart: Karlsdal in Karlskoga municipality and Villingsberg in Lekeberg municipality. Eleven named lakes with stocked rainbow trout, brown trout and Arctic char. You buy one day permit for the salmonid fishing, not one permit per lake.

Rainbow trout is the main species in the rod season. Arctic char is stocked in named family lakes when the ice holds. Natural water in the same forest has its own permit. A hire lake is booked as a whole lake. The ground is leased from Sveaskog.

Karlsdal and Villingsberg

Kilsbergen has no shared permit for everything. You choose a part:

  • Karlsdal – five salmonid waters to the north: family lakes and fly tarns, plus Fisklösen split into a fly basin and a family basin.
  • Villingsberg – six lakes at Villingsberg, the busier area. One of them is fly only.

The same day permit is valid in both areas. The natural-water permit is not valid on the salmonid lakes.

Two kinds of salmonid lake

Family lakes take fly fishing, spin fishing, fixed-spool and bait fishing. Fly lakes take only fly rod, fly line and fly. Stocking is about once a week in the rod season, usually on Thursdays according to Kilsbergen.

The permit is personal. One rod, and only that rod may be taken to the lake. One fly, one lure or one hook with bait. Groundbaiting is forbidden. The rod may not be left. When three salmonids are landed the permit is used up, or you buy a new one. Putting salmonids back is not allowed. Children up to eleven fish on a guardian’s permit, with the same bag. Your own boat, canoe and pontoon boat are not allowed. A float tube with a fly rod is named on certain lakes.

Hours on the day permit are 00–24. Price and retailers sit with Kilsbergen and iFiske.

Karlsdal

Kviddtjärn and Bastkulltjärn are fly only. Lobergs Abborrtjärn and Stenbotjärn are family lakes with a jetty level with the road. Fisklösen has a small fly basin and a larger family basin where a float tube with a fly rod is allowed. The overview sits under Karlsdal.

Villingsberg

Trehörningen is the fly lake. Orrtjärn, Sörämten, Sävsjön, Stora Svinsjön and Lilla Svinsjön are family lakes. On Sörämten a float tube with a fly rod is allowed. The overview sits under Villingsberg.

Hire lake and natural water

Fisklösen can also be booked as a whole lake on certain days, separate from the day permit. It is the same name as the salmonid lake, not an extra page.

Natural water in Karlsdal and Villingsberg has its own permit. Those waters have no pages here.

Winter

Arctic char is stocked for as long as the ice holds, in Sörämten and Lobergs Abborrtjärn. Ice fishing for rainbow trout is included on the family lakes. The fly lakes are closed to ice fishing: Kviddtjärn, Bastkulltjärn, the fly basin of Fisklösen and Trehörningen. Ice claws. Thickness sits with Kilsbergen that week.

Practical and lodging

Drive toward Karlsdal or Villingsberg. Take the area map from Kilsbergen – the lakes sit close together and several have no road sign of their own. Park so rescue can get through. Fire only on a marked place. Tent, caravan and motorhome are not set within 75 metres of the sport-fishing lakes; there are prepared caravan pitches.

Another southern Swedish area with colour-coded lakes is Hökensås Sportfiske.

Good to keep in mind

  • The same day permit in Karlsdal and Villingsberg. The natural-water permit is not enough on the salmonid lakes.
  • Read the sign: family lake or fly only. The spinning rod stays in the car at a fly tarn.
  • One rod. Do not groundbait. Do not put salmonids back. No own boat.
  • Three fish, then the permit is used up.
  • Ice fishing only on the family lakes. Arctic char in winter in Sörämten and Lobergs Abborrtjärn.
