Ibbesjön

Ibbesjön is one of Hökensås Sportfiske’s put-and-take lakes in Hökensås nature reserve, Tidaholm municipality. Rainbow trout is stocked, often together with brown trout. The lake is a yellow lake closest to Fiskecentret: fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing. The permit is not the same as the Tiveden or Baltak permits.

Species

Rainbow trout is the main species. Hökensås stocks salmonids in named lakes, so-called put and take. This page is Ibbesjön, not the other lakes on the ridge.

Rainbow trout in a forest lake can take both along edges and over deeper parts. After stocking they can sit tight for a short time. Walk the last stretch quietly.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Yellow lake: fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing are allowed. One rod. Groundbaiting and live fish as bait are banned. Your own boats, canoes and rafts may not be used. The same yellow permit opens the other yellow lakes. A red permit also opens yellow waters.

The reserve has its own rules: camping is banned in the area, fires only on marked barbecue sites. Cars only on marked roads.

The permit is sold digitally and in machines at Fiskecentret. Buy it before you fish.

Lures and flies

Small spoons and spinners in silver, white or orange are a common start where spin is allowed. On fly: nymph, pupa and a simple streamer. The tips are general for rainbow trout in a lake.

Fish a bay or bank properly before you switch.

When they bite

Morning and evening are often best. In summer the fish can go deeper in the middle of the day. Stocking is decided by Hökensås. Ice fishing has its own season in yellow and red lakes, not in the blue ones.
