Character of the water

Bagaresjön lies in the south — a southern acidified brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length. 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Bagaresjön 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 Bagaresjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~10 cm · can reach 25 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

bream coarse fish

typically ~27 cm · can reach 33 cm

Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

pike predatory fish

typically ~52 cm · can reach 63 cm

Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.

ruffe perch family

typically ~9 cm · can reach 11 cm

Ruffe works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

roach coarse fish

typically ~15 cm · can reach 22 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

sarv fish

typically ~16 cm · can reach 19 cm

Sarv grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.

Fishing Bagaresjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Bagaresjön, carried by bream, ruffe and roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

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 Bagaresjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
