Character of the water
Öjasjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Öjasjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.
- Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.
Species in Öjasjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~16 cm · can reach 40 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Arctic char salmonids

In the clear water Arctic char picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Öjasjön
perch and Arctic char sit at the top of the food chain in Öjasjön. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Öjasjön 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.
