Pike, perch, zander (pikeperch), burbot and eel are also found here.

Approximately in the middle of the lake’s lower section, the three regions of Halland, Småland, and Västergötland meet. The entire lake is a nature reserve, and during the unique bird species' nesting period in the area, there are designated areas that must not be entered (between April 1st – July 31st). Be sure to follow the rules and signage. Campsites There are many campsites located along the beaches of Fegensjön, Kalvsjön, Ätran and Lillån where you can rest for a while.

You need to have purchased camping coupons in order to stay the night at one of these campsites, however. You can find information about rules and camping coupons on visitfegen.se.
