Character of the water

Aglasjön lies in central Sweden — a acidified forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Aglasjön 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 Aglasjön

typically ~11 cm · can reach 41 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~53 cm · can reach 67 cm

typically ~10 cm · can reach 13 cm

roach coarse fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 21 cm

Fishing Aglasjön

Aglasjön holds 6 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and björkna, bream and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Aglasjön 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.
Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
