Character of the water

Bosjön lies in the south — a southern humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Bosjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 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 Bosjön

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

typically ~19 cm · can reach 45 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~37 cm · can reach 46 cm

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

ruffe perch family

typically ~11 cm · can reach 11 cm

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

typically ~30 cm · can reach 30 cm

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

sarv fish

typically ~15 cm · can reach 15 cm

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

Fishing Bosjön

Bosjön holds 8 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and björkna, bream and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

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 Bosjön 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.
