Character of the water
Deromesjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (13 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Deromesjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 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 Deromesjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~21 cm · can reach 44 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~57 cm · can reach 79 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~24 cm · can reach 28 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
sarv fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 24 cm
Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
sutare fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 52 cm
Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
Fishing Deromesjön
Deromesjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach, sarv and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Deromesjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
