Avsjøen
Character of the water
Avsjøen lies in central Sweden — a 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 (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Avsjøen FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Species in Avsjøen
Fishing Avsjøen
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Avsjøen, carried by roach and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Avsjøen 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.
