Between Växjö and Kalmar, in the middle of Småland in Glasriket/Kingdom of Crystal, you will find Strömfiske Alsterån, a river stretch of approximately 15km.
Here you will find the real wilderness feeling with a scenic brown trout fishing in streaming water without crowding.
The fishing water is diverse and varies from fast flowing water to calmer parts.
The character is reminiscent of a nice little river in northern Sweden - Norrland, partly fairly easily accessible and partly through more difficult terrain. Alsterån is a perfect start to the trout season where there is a good opportunity to lure a trout already in April, maybe even on dryfly.
The fishing season runs from the beginning of April until October. During the high summer, the fishing can be difficult or even blocked due to water temperature and level. In times with high temperature, we recommend you check with us first if it's open or open with restrictions of time or places to fish.
In the middle of May, there is a good chance to meet the hatching of the large may flies.
The weekends in May are the only times we possibly stop selling cards.
It should never feel cramped on our stretch along the Alsterån.

We who manage Strömfiske Alsterån also run Vidinge Gård, where we sell fishing licenses and the most important fishing pick. Here, our fishing guests have comfortable accommodation close to the river in rooms or apartments, food and drinks on the outdoor terrace after finishing fishing or in the cozy pub. For those who want, we are happy to arrange a packed lunch to take and grill yourself at one of the shelters along the river.
Feel free to check with us at Vidinge Gård before you come here. Especially if you plan to come during the summer or a weekend in May. Guests staying at Vidinge Gård are always entitled to purchase a fishing license during their stay, as long as the river is open for fishing.
We also offer boat fishing in the surrounding lakes, perfect for the family or group who want to split between lake and trout fishing in the Alsterån.
Welcome!
Johan & Eva-Lena Philip
At our guest house Vidinge Gård we offer comfortable accommodation in rooms, apartments or motorhome / caravan pitches.
You choose if you want self-catering or service with breakfast, packed lunches and / or dinner. We have a cozy pub and outdoor seating in beergarden with full rights.
Along the river there are several shelters with barbecue areas, with firewood free to use for our fishing guests. We are happy to send you coffee or barbecue packages to grill yourself.
It is possible to spend the night in / at the shelters, free of charge, but let us know at Vidinge Gård so we know when it is free.
We also rent light hammocks that can be attached inside the windbreaks or between the trees, for a siesta after the lunch break.
In a couple of our nearby lakes there is a boat for rent, with a separate fishing license.
We are happy to help with on-site guidance, guidance or courses, by agreement.
Also for groups, companies, conferences, events etc.
