You can fish in Lakes Vänern and Vättern without a fishing card. Special rules apply and are posted in the harbours.  The other lakes and waterways require fishing cards. Fishing information, Lake Vättern:

Sportfiske Tiveden is a region of eight lakes on the same fishing card, where game fish are regularly planted out. The area is beautiful and well cared for, with jetties, wind shelters and grill pits. Some lakes also have boats for hire. For more information, contact Karlsborgs Turism AB, phone +46 (0)505-173 50
