Fishing tales place right in the centre of town and you can fish for sea trout on the 1st March when the season begins. This spectacle draws in the attention of many anglers and bystanders. At the end of April, beginning of May the fresh run Salmon is the catch of the day and by mid June the catch is usually the smaller Salmon and the Grisle which enters the river at about this time.  This great fishing can be enjoyed right until late September when the season closes to allow for spawning.  The river Atran situated in Falkenburg is located right at the river mouth and is an area that is steeped in tradition and history.
