ICE FISHING AT HERRESTADSFJÄLLET AND BREDFJÄLLET
There are many good small fishing lakes at Herrestadsfjället in Uddevalla
and Bredfjället in Ljungskile. Ice hole or jig fishing is ideal once the ice has
formed. Perch, pike and even brown and rainbow trout can be found in
the lakes. Just remember that you must always check the thickness of the
ice and carry ice claws. You will also need a fishing license to fish the lakes.
