Character of the water
Ösjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
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 (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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

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

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

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
ruffe perch family
typically ~12 cm · can reach 22 cm

Fishing Ösjön
Ösjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Ösjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
