Fishing
The lake of Sandvik / Sandviksjön
The area is part of Hårkan's river and mainly includes Sandvikssjön and its outlet stream Edsforsen.
In Sandvikssjön you can fish from a boat.
Edsforsen is a stretch of stream of about 1.5 km with varying character from silt to rushing water.
The fly fishing in Edsforsen is famous for its large supply of large grayling and trout. Hatching of day loaches and forsknot usually gives extraordinary dry fly fishing from midsummer and a few weeks onwards. In late summer evenings and nights, you can experience significant periods of wakefulness when large numbers of dragonflies hatch.
Small spinners or wobblers can also give results for the trout.
Näsaforsen is located in the northern part of the area with a stream length of approx. 300 m.
In Baksjön there are stocked char and trout as well as accessible parking, a barbecue area, a fishing jetty (in progress) and dry dock.
The following waters are available within the fisheries management area:
Helgsjön, Sandvikssjön, Edsforsen, Baksjön, Hårkan, Näsaforsen, Stor-Raftsjön, Andån, Raftan, Sågbäcken, Torån, Tvargalan, Töjsan.
