Character of the water

Baståsasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing permit required — Baståsasjön 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.

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

pike predatory fish

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

roach coarse fish

Fishing Baståsasjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Baståsasjön, carried by ål and 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 Baståsasjön are alike.
