Lilla Stockasjön

Lilla Stockasjön is put and take in Mark municipality, at Öxabäck. Same site as Stora Stockasjön. Only fly fishing for rainbow trout. There is an accessibility jetty. We do not sell the permits — book ahead via the site’s form. See also family-friendly waters.

Species

Rainbow trout is the main species. This page is Lilla Stockasjön at Furåsen, not Stora Stockasjön where spin is also allowed. The site writes that they stock often. Spots are booked in advance, no drop-in.

Because only fly fishing is allowed you fish with rod, line, leader and a single hook — not spin, bait fishing or bait. Pre-booked spots mean it is rarely crowded, which makes the tarn easy for beginners and families as well. You may fish from the bank, the jetty or wade. County: Västra Götalands län. Province: Västergötland.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Fly only, single hook. Spin, bait fishing and bait are banned according to the site. You may fish from the bank, the jetty or wade. Contact the site if you need adapted rules at the jetty.

Children up to 12 fish on a guardian’s permit and quota. Catch and release only on the dates the site states.

Lures and flies

A nymph or a simple streamer in olive, black or dark colours is often enough to start against stocked rainbow trout. General species tactics, not specific to Lilla Stockasjön. Leave the spinning rod at home.

When they bite

Stocking is decided by the site. Check that the booking is confirmed the same day you plan to go. Limited number of spots. Stocked rainbow trout are liveliest in cool water and just after a refill, and they usually bite best at dawn and dusk. In a small tarn they can take near the surface right after stocking.
