Character of the water
Dagsjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest 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 (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Dagsjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

roach coarse fish

Fishing Dagsjön
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Dagsjön, carried by ål, roach and sutare. 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 Dagsjön are alike.
