Vita Tjärn

Vita Tjärn is one of Hökensås Sportfiske’s put-and-take lakes in Hökensås nature reserve, Habo municipality. Rainbow trout is stocked here, often together with brown trout. The tarn is a red fly-fishing lake. It sits south of Enesjön, in the same group as Tjärn 59. 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 Vita Tjärn, not Tjärn 59 and not Sydvattnet. The public map has no name on the tarn.

Rainbow trout in a small forest tarn can sit tight against the edge. Hökensås advises against wading; depth comes in toward the bank. Walk the last stretch carefully.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Red lake: fly fishing only. Spin fishing and bait fishing are not included. Bombarda, jigs and scented flies are banned. The same red permit also opens orange and yellow lakes. A yellow permit is not enough here.

The reserve has its own rules: camping is banned in the area, fires only at 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

On fly: nymph, pupa and a simple streamer, often small imitations close to the bank. The tips are general for rainbow trout in a tarn.

Fish a bank properly before you change. Start a bit back from the water so you do not scare the fish out.

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 on yellow and red lakes, not on the blue ones.

Getting there

The map pin is the unnamed red fishing water south of Enesjön, the other small red surface besides Tjärn 59. Drive toward Hökensås Fiskecentrum at Håkängen, Tidaholm. Maps are with the operator.

With the seller or hokensas.se: choose the Hökensås permit, not Tiveden.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. The permit is personal. Quota, boat hire and season belong to Hökensås and they change.

Give space if someone is already on the bank. Take your rubbish home.

Stocking and opening hours can change. Check current times and rules with the permit seller before you go.

Park so rescue and other guests can get through. Follow signs at the water, not only the map pin.

The fishing permit applies to this water, not the whole area. If the lake is closed for stocking, it shows on the seller’s page.
