Sportfiskekortet, Yngern

The scope of the angling license:

The fishing license is valid throughout Yngern. The lake belongs to the Sport Fishing License, a fishing license that covers about 40 different lakes and streams in the Stockholm area. Lake area: 1430 hectares

Description:

Yngern is a large clear water lake with a varied character of deep edges and shallow bays. Yngern is best fished from a boat (launching facilities are available in Yngsviken), but land fishing also has great potential. Fishing in the lake is varied with everything from bottom fishing for bream in the shallow bays to perch fishing along the mountain slopes and pelagic pike fishing. The winter fishing for large perch with a balance rod is very good.

Fishing rules:

Trolling is not allowed. Angling is not allowed. Ice fishing with maximum 5 rods. Motorboats with a maximum engine power of 8 hp may be used in the lake. Otherwise see general regulations. The large perch is protected in Yngern! In 2015, Yngern will be the first lake with a maximum size for perch. All perch of 38 centimeters or more must be released into the lake, in order to maintain the lake's populations of large perch. The large individuals play an important role in reproduction and the balance of the ecosystem.

Availability:

The lake is large and patchy and there are many fishing spots to discover. In winter, the ice provides greater opportunities to reach attractive fishing spots.

Public transportation:

Commuter train from T-centralen, get off at Östertälje, change to bus towards Nykvarn. Other places are difficult to get to by public transport.
