Character of the water

Ärnanäsasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (14 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Ärnanäsasjön 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 Ärnanäsasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 40 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~51 cm · can reach 51 cm

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

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~16 cm · can reach 27 cm

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

whitefish whitefish

typically ~20 cm · can reach 21 cm

Whitefish cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

sutare fish

typically ~35 cm · can reach 60 cm

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

Fishing Ärnanäsasjön

Ärnanäsasjön holds 6 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach, whitefish and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Ärnanäsasjön are alike.
