Character of the water

Attavarasjön lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Attavarasjön 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 Attavarasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~18 cm · can reach 37 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~64 cm · can reach 83 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~20 cm · can reach 29 cm

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

Fishing Attavarasjön

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

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Attavarasjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
