- Support large pike horizontally and release them gently.
Lakes & Fishing
Twenty-five fishing waters, quiet forest lakes and long evenings by the shore. Welcome to the waters of Håltebyn.
Rinnen
Lake Rinnen
Rinnen is the largest lake in the Hålteby-Rinnen fishing area. It lies so high in the forest that it gives a feeling of mountain country, and it is known for big pike — the heaviest recorded so far weighed 12 kg. Perch of over a kilo are frequent.
Beyond fishing, Rinnen is a place for a summer swim at the local bathing and barbecue area, a picnic on the shore and photographs in the evening light.

Hålteby-Rinnens Fvof
The Hålteby-Rinnen Fishing Area
The local fishing management association (Hålteby-Rinnens Fvof) looks after 25 fishing waters. The largest are Rinnen, Mossjön, Eketjärn, Långevattnet, Hålevattnet and Rövattnet. The most common species are pike, perch, roach and trout. Many waters lie high up in undisturbed forest, several of them surrounded by nature reserves.
Rinnen
The largest lake. Big pike (record so far 12 kg) and perch over 1 kg.
Hålevattnet
A put-and-take water stocked with rainbow trout every year, fish of up to 1.5 kg. Has a jetty adapted for anglers with disabilities.
Mossjön
A very deep lake, over 30 metres. Arctic char were introduced about 30 years ago and fish from that population remain today.
Gravtjärnen
An easily accessible tarn in the east where large perch of over a kilo are often caught.
Several waters have strong potential for lake-migrating trout, which the association is working to develop. All trout must be released.
