Övre Fryken, Lake system in Värmland, Sweden

The Övre Fryken lake extends 80 kilometers through Värmland's landscape, reaching a width of 3 kilometers and depths of 93 meters.

The lake system formed part of important transportation routes in Värmland during the industrial development of Sweden in the 19th century.

The eastern shores of Övre Fryken contain multiple fishing communities that maintain traditional Swedish lake fishing methods through generations.

Visitors can obtain fishing permits at service stations and outdoor shops in Sunne, Torsby, and Västra Ämtervik for year-round fishing activities.

The lake waters support populations of Gullspång salmon, maintained through annual release programs to preserve this specific species.
