The char
can be found in a few lakes in the province of Dalsland, and is generally
large grown. The char is considered one of the foremost freshwater fish,
both as a dish and as a catch. The greatest chance to catch a char on
a rod is during the spring, the autumn and on the winter ice.
During the summer the char prefers the deeper waters and is thereby more difficult to catch. In the lakes Västra and Östra Silen, Lilla Le and Lelång there are different kinds of large char. The weight varies between 1 and 3 kg, and it is often caught during trolling fishing.
