Falkenberg
Ätran
Classic Salmon Fishing in the Town Centre
__________________ Ätran offers classic salmon
fishing in Falkenberg on the west coast of Sweden. Thanks to successful
conservation efforts, the wild salmon population has not only been maintained,
but even increased.
Angling goes on in the centre of town along
a two kilometre stretch of the lower course of Ätran, which here
empties into the Kattegatt Sea.
Season
The early opening of the fishing season, as in March
31, 2012, is a
yearly spectacle drawing the attention of anglers and bystanders alike.
At this time the game is sea-trout. Later in April/May the larger fresh
run salmon is the main attraction. By mid-June the pursuit is for the
smaller salmon, the grilse, which enters the river at this time. Spinning
as well as flyfishing is permitted.
Autumn fishing for salmon closes in late September,
when the fish is protected to allow spawning.
Location
The town of Falkenberg, located at the mouth of
the river, is easily reached by car on European Route E6/E20, or by train
on the west coast route Västkustbanan. Falkenberg is halfway between
Helsingborg to the south and Gothenburg to the north, a distance of 100
km in either direction. Frequent ferries on the waterways provide a link
to the European continent and enter several ports in Sweden.
Falkenberg with its old history offers
many alternatives for lodging. There are hotels, apartments, cabins and
camping facilities. If you prefer a package fishing holiday, with top quality
accomodation near the river, any of the excellent downtown hotels may be
your best choise.
