Character of the water

Öresjö lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 13 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

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.

Large and deep (33 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Öresjö FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 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 Öresjö

perch predatory fish

typically ~20 cm · can reach 44 cm

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

typically ~10 cm · can reach 10 cm

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

Nors holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.

typically ~15 cm · can reach 29 cm

Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

vendace whitefish

typically ~23 cm · can reach 25 cm

Vendace holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.

sutare fish

typically ~40 cm · can reach 45 cm

Fishing Öresjö

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Öresjö, carried by bream, ruffe and nors. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Öresjö 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

In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
