Holmsjön

Holmsjön is put and take in Sandviken municipality. Sandvikens SFK stocks rainbow trout and brown trout. Fly rod only. Closed from freeze-up to ice-out. Not Holmsjön in Skinnskatteberg or Strängnäs. We do not sell the permits — buy via the permit seller.

Species

Stocked salmonids are what you fish here. This page is Holmsjön, not other waters in the same area that may have pike as the main number.

Brown trout is stocked regularly. Rainbow trout and perch are also mentioned. Its own day permit.

Stocked fish can sit close to the bank after stocking and then deeper. Typical of this kind of water.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Here: fly fishing. Spin and bait fishing are not included. Fly only. Accessible. Not spin from the bank. Read current tackle with the seller before you pack.

Always check the latest stocking and an open permit with the seller, not an old report.

Lures and flies

Nymph, streamer and dry fly. General fly tactics and therefore not specific to Holmsjön. Leave the spinning rod at home.

When they bite

Stocking is decided by the manager. Morning and evening are often nicer than high sun on small forest waters. Check an open permit and ice with the seller before you go. The lake is closed from freeze-up to ice-out.

Getting there

West of Härnen. The map pin sits at Holmsjön. Fishing around the lake; long back-casts can be tight. Park where it is marked. Fires only on prepared sites unless there is a fire ban.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. Quota, times and float tube change. Current prices are on the permit seller’s page. The lake is marked as family-friendly with accessible fishing. It is still a forest lake. Buy the permit before you cast. We do not sell it.
