The dominant fish species are perch, pike and whitefish. Here is a selection of the best fishing lakes with information that may be relevant to finding your luck. Also consider the different rules that apply to each lake.
Fishing is a fun and exciting leisure activity that you can enjoy all year round.

If you want to fish outside the above-mentioned areas, on so-called private water, you must check whether fishing is permitted or seek permission from the fishing right holder. You can buy fishing licenses for many of the lakes around Vimmerby online or at Vimmerby Tourist Information.
Krön
The long, narrow lake Krön is a relatively shallow lake of 740 hectares that is part of Stångån's water system. There are fine fishing waters here for both the beginner and the experienced fisherman. Krön is a circumscribed body of water that has on several occasions been the place where Sweden's largest zander has been caught.
Follow the sports fishing sign along road 826, one kilometer from Vennebjörke, at Karsnäs to put in the boat. Kröngården also has a mooring area, but this is closed during the bathing season.
It is also good to fish from the bridge at Sund. Remember that it is a busy road!

Yxern
Yxern is Kalmar County's largest lake and, despite that, is somewhat hidden among lovely coniferous forest. The lake's many bays and headlands are interspersed with many small islands that attract a rich bird life. The fish supply is also rich with, among other things, pike, perch, whiting and large-grown zander.
The beaches are shallow in places and in other places the cliffs drop vertically and in some places reach a depth of 26 metres. The water level in Yxern varies greatly and there is plenty of ground and rocks, so be careful if you fish from a boat.
