Character of the water

Askesjö lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

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

Large and deep (31 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 — Askesjö 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 Askesjö

typically ~49 cm · can reach 57 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
roach coarse fish
typically ~19 cm · can reach 28 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
nors fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 12 cm
Nors cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.
vendace whitefish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 23 cm
Vendace cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

Fishing Askesjö

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

Every session at Askesjö 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.
