Vrigstad Coarse-angling center
It's sometimes
said that the province of Småland in southern
Sweden is a "Lapland" in miniature. That is to say, the
characteristics of the forest lands of northern Sweden can also be found in
the highlands of southern Sweden around Sävsjö. And
certainly the lakes are myriad, the conifer forest deep and the swamp and
moss lands like "Store Mosse" are
familiar from parts further north, with both cloud berries and wild rosemary
growing there in good years.
Elk and roe deer thrive for the joy for hunters in
almost troublesome numbers here. The fox is on the increase and there are
innumerable hares for the benefit of fly tiers with hares-ear nymph on their
menu. The osprey is often seen circling hunting for food for its young.

The
Fishing: Of course the northern pike
is the number one fish, with the zander as the runner up. But perch, eel and
bream together with the tench are the angler's
favorites.
In these regions, where the little red cabin near the lake is so often the visitors prime objective, the angler also seeks his
specimen fish. Also international finals in fishing competitions like Embassy
Challenge and Scandinavian Seaways Challenge have been held here.
However most visitors prefer spinning using
ultra-light spinning gear or bait casting to challenge the wily pike or
zander "thunder". The guide suggests -not without cause- changing
to a stronger leader than is usually used.
A zander may weigh between 11 and 18 pounds and is rather strong. Whereas a
pike of the same weight is even more tenacious. So a wire bite trace is recommended
closest to the bait. Many waters are easily fished from the bank like in the
photo below.
An Angling Center for all tastes.
