Character of the water

Äntasjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Äntasjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Äntasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~26 cm · can reach 42 cm

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

ål fish

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

pike predatory fish

typically ~39 cm · can reach 41 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

roach coarse fish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 34 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

sutare fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 51 cm

Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Fishing Äntasjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Äntasjön, carried by ål, roach and sutare. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Äntasjön is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
