Hötjärn

Hötjärn is put and take in Ockelbo municipality, Gästrikland. Ulvsta sells a special day permit Hötjärn P&T. Rainbow trout is the main species. We do not sell the permits — buy via the permit seller.

Species

Stocked salmonids are what you fish here: rainbow trout. This page is Hötjärn in Ockelbo, not other Hötjärn and not Testeboån.

Rainbow trout P&T according to Ulvsta FVOF. Typical of this kind of water: the fish can sit close to the bank after stocking and then seek deeper.

The same name can exist in other municipalities. The map pin is this point, not another water with the same name. County: Gävleborgs län.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Here: fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing. Read current tackle with the seller before you pack. Not every dam allows everything. One rod at a time is common on this kind of water — check what applies now.

Always check the latest stocking and an open permit with the seller, not an old report. Ice, spring flood and a temporary close for stocking can shut the water without this page catching up.

Lures and flies

For stocked rainbow trout, small spinners, spoons and simple nymphs in olive, black and orange often work. On fly a nymph or a simple streamer is a start. The tips are general for the species and therefore not specific to Hötjärn.

Change colour and depth if it is dead for a while. After stocking the fish can take near the surface. Later they often want a slower presentation.

When they bite

Stocking is decided by the manager. Morning and evening are often nicer than high sun on small forest waters. Spring and autumn are often pleasant periods on this kind of water.

Check an open permit and ice with the seller before you go. An empty report online says nothing about today.
