Getno Gard Sweden

Getno Gard Sweden

 

Lake Åsnen, in the heart of Småland, is one of Sweden's largest lakes with an area of around 1,000 hectares. The lake has 740 kilometres of coastline and no less than 360 islands. Lake Åsnen is said to be one of Sweden's best fishing lakes, best known for its pike, perch and zander. There is also a large quantity of eel, whitefish such as bream, roach and tench. But also the rainbow trout is present and even carp are caught here. The last one is not easy to catch but they are certainly there. Besides the excellent fishing this region offers peace, space and nature experience. It is a true Eldorado for fishermen, nature and bird lovers. So you are in the middle of one of the best fishing waters of Sweden.

 

Getno Gard is a private property of 15 km2 with its own peninsula in the middle of the beautiful Asnen lake. Several holiday homes have been built here at a large distance from each other so that all guests can enjoy their peace and quiet and the beautiful nature. There is a central building where the reception annex camp shop where also lost lures or other fishing materials can be replaced.

 

Fishing starts in April when the last ice has melted and continues until November. Peak periods for pike fishing are in the early and late season. Because the lakes here contain a lot of food and there is a large amount of shallow areas for the fish to spawn, there is a healthy and productive fish stock. Besides the regular lake system there is also a put & take lake where you can fish for rainbow trout for an additional fee.

 

For fishing, the rules of the Åsnen Fish Conservation Area are followed. This means mainly catch & release and if you still want to take fish it has to be at least 50 centimetres for pike and 45 centimetres for pikeperch minimum and 2 fish maximum per person per day. Per permit you may troll with a maximum of 2 rods. In May it is not allowed to fish for zander. You are also allowed to fish with live bait from this lake. Respect the private property of others and leave it untouched. The fishing license costs 50 euros per week and is per person and non-transferable. It can be ordered in advance and then it will be ready or you can get it on the spot at the reception and pay for it.

 

This is what your week can look like too!

 

 

At the reception there is also a small angling shop where you can obtain any missing lures but you can also rent bikes, kayaks and canoes. Furthermore, there is a country shop and a pub where you can 'cool down' after a wonderful fishing day while enjoying a beer. They will be happy to be of service to offer you an optimal holiday. It is also possible to book a fishing guide. This will show you the top spots in the region as well as the best bait species of the moment.

 

If you do not want to prepare your own meals you can also visit the cosy and tasteful restaurant. Larger groups should register in advance. And so you can end a wonderful fishing day perfectly with a delicious meal on the terrace at the lake. Other activities you can do here are canoeing and cycling (for rent), tennis on the private tennis court, pony riding, walking with berry and fruit picking and locally there are several excursions to undertake. They speak English, German and Swedish.
