Welcome to Strömfiske Alsterån - Fishing for everyone
Stream Fishing Alsterån
Alsterån flows through the deep and green woods of Småland an idyllic place
for fishing in the heart of Glasriket.
15 km of the stream is included in “Stream fishing Alsterån” and all of this is
in undeveloped wilderness. There is a natural stock of brown trout, which is
reinforced each year when more brown trout is put out. The stream has been
divided into fishing zones for both skilled fly-fishing as well as more easily
accessible fishing for families. The guests stay at pension Vidingegård with 17
rooms and 38 beds. The distance from Vidingegård and the fishing centre to the
best fishing places is a couple of km. The accommodation is flexible to suit
both groups of friends interested in fishing, families on holidays as well as
companies for conferences.
FISHING WATERS
Alsterån is like a string of pearls in Glasriket. The 15 km long stretch varies
between calm flowing parts with marshy water meadows and dams to more running
parts. Within the community of Uppvidinge there are, apart from Alsterån, 230
lakes with streams and creeks and many are available for fishing.
FISH
The natural stock of brown trout in the stream is supported through environment
protection and new spawn places. In some parts of the stream there are also pike,
perch, bream, tench and roach as well as crayfish.
FISHING
The fishing season is from April - September. Crayfish can be caught in
August/September.
In the running waters we recommend that you use streamers in the spring and
autumn and dry flies in the summer. In the calm waters it is best to use
spinners. Perch, bream, tench and roach are easiest caught with an angling rod.
There are two places with large piers designed to suit disabled people with
parking right by the water. There are many places with toilets, barbecues and
windbreaks.
Alsterån has been divided into natural fishing zones with a restricted amount of
fishing permits in the most superior parts. You can buy fishing permits at
Alsteråns Fishing Centre at Vidingegård any time of the day.
There are different rules for different parts of the stream. In half of the
stream you may only fly-fish with hooks without barbs and catch-and-release for
brown trout. In other parts of the stream spin fishing is allowed and in some
zones floating ring and boats are allowed.
BOATS AND TACKLE
There are 3 boats, each for 2 people, at Höneströmsdammen. Life jackets are
included in the rent. Fishing tackle can be rented or bought. Angling and nature
guides can show the stream, the nature, the best fishing places and assist with
the fishing. The guides speak Swedish, Danish, German and English and can be
booked per hour or per day.
ACCOMMODATION
The pension Vidingegård has high class accommodation with 17 rooms and
conference facilities. During the fishing season the
restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch (packed lunches). During other time
of the year you have to book beforehand.
Several rooms can easily be converted into a flat for self-catering
accommodation or to youth hostel with a more "compact living". Vidingegård is
designed to suit anglers with possibilities of gutting and freezing the fish and
with modern kitchen and barbecue for cooking. There are special places for
drying and keeping of tackle. Personal fishing apparel, bed linen and towels are
not included in the standard prices.
