River Ammerån were undergoing a stream renewal program in 1990-1991. River Ammerån run through limestone grounds which can explain how the river is fairly unaffected by acid downfall. The river has a very rich insect fauna.

Populations of Brown trout, grayling...

You can also fish in Lake Öravattnet, for trout, char, and perch. Lake Laxsjön is another alternative with fishing for large pike and white fish (Sik in Swedish).

In the early season it is recommended when flyfishing to fish with imitations of green free living caddi larvae.

Dry fly season usually begins in the first half of July and and last until late fall.
The dry fly fishing in Ammerån river is very dependent on the water level and therefore it is recommended to contact the local fishing camps before travelling here. But you can almost always find some dry fly fishing in some of the nearby located rivers if only the weather gods is on your side.

The upper part (from lake Solbergvattnet and downstream) consists of a big number of rapid streams for example Språnghällan, Skyttmoforsen Höghällan. Big trout and big grayling. The rapids is easy accessible through small forest roads.
