FAQ

• powerbait is forbidden
• bottom fishing is forbidden
• Shrimp is forbidden (except durig ice fishing)
• Pole fishing is forbidden (except for kids under 10 years old)
  • Poles are simple tools designed for close-range fishing without the need for casting. The line is directly tied to the tip, and there’s no reel involved. 
• Casting pole fishing is forbidden (also for kids under 10 years old)
• You may not let anyone hold your or your child's rod/pole, as this is seen as lending your fishing license. Adults may also not fish with the child's pole.

Float tube (belly boat)

In Ängebytjärnet is it allowed to use a float tube under the whole open water season. Float tube fishers must show consideration to fishers on land, and fisher on land has always precedence in front of fishers in a float tube.  Fishers with float tube shall keep distance to fishers on land, so they do not prevent each other.

Our definition is that it will be shaped as a “traditional float tube” and that you paddle with your feet. If the float tube is carried out with a weir, then it is considered as a boat and is not allowed. Private boats are also not allowed in the area (except from the cottage owners at Ängeby).
