The fishing areas around Galå Fjällgård are characterised by a wide variety of fishing opportunities. Rivers such as the Ljungan, Arån, Lövan, Galån and Aloppan, as well as smaller brooks and over 1,000 hectares of lakes of various sizes, ensure there’s never a dull moment.
The most common fish include trout (brown trout and rainbow trout), grayling and Arctic char (including brook char). Pike, perch, whitefish and burbot are also native to the area.
By the way, the trout is considered the "landscape fish" of Jämtland.

The neighbourhood is home to the popular fishing areas of Börtnan FVOF (Börtnan "East") and Börtnans Västra KFO (Börtnan "West"), as well as the extensive state-owned waters in the mountains of the Tåssåsen Sami village.

Not far away is also the fishing area of Skålan FVO, located in the direction of Åsarna, where also the Lakehouse ist located.

Fishing for grayling and trout is especially popular in the River Ljungan. The Ljungan originates slightly east of the Sylarna massif, near Jämtland’s highest mountains (Helags and Sylarna). With its cold and oxygen-rich waters, it is one of the best fishing rivers in Sweden. In fact, Börtnan holds the world record with a caught trout weighing 14 kg!
Some rapids sections of the Ljungan are reserved for fly fishers, whilst on other stretches along the river you can fish with spinners, spoons or other lures. Special are the mouths of the Arån, "our" river Galån and, on the southern side, the Aloppan. Further upstream along these tributaries, there are also good chances of catching grayling in particular.

The Ljungan is repeatedly interspersed with lakes such as Flåsjön, Börtnessjön, Lill-Börtnen, and Fotingen. There are good fishing opportunities here too. In addition to trout and grayling, you also have good chances of catching pike, perch, and whitefish.

Boats can be rented both in Börtnan and Skålan. For longer rental periods, it may be possible to rent a good-quality fishing boat from Skålan for continuous use during your stay at the lakeside house.

In addition, there are numerous lakes easily accessible by car, some of which even have a wind shelter for an even more enjoyable fishing trip.
