Character of the water

Arnsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

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

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (17 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

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

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • 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.

Elritsa moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
pike predatory fish
typically ~40 cm · can reach 43 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
trout salmonids

Trout is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Arctic char salmonids

Fishing Arnsjön

Arnsjön holds 5 species, with perch, pike and trout at the top of the chain and elritsa schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Every session at Arnsjön 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.
