Fishery conservation:
The Knaften Fishery Conservation Area is dependent on your help in order to maintain future good fishing. Bad fishing ethics may devastate our natural stocks. Grayling and trout are particularly sensitive to overfishing. Our small and seemingly insignificant brooks are often spawning and growth habitats for trout. If grayling and trout are left spawning in peace, we will get bigger fish in our main watercourses and thus better fishing. 

Accommodation:
Renting of a "log floater's hut" at Grankottaselet. Modest accommodation, heater with cooking facilities, for about 6 guests. Information and booking with Magnus Bäckman at Knaften Tel. 0950 - 200 79.
