Character of the water
Ellingsmålasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Shallow throughout (max 1 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing permit required — Ellingsmålasjön 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 Ellingsmålasjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~6 cm · can reach 29 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
bream coarse fish
typically ~26 cm · can reach 53 cm
Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
pike predatory fish
typically ~37 cm · can reach 40 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~9 cm · can reach 29 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
sarv fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 40 cm
Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
sutare fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 47 cm
Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
Fishing Ellingsmålasjön
Ellingsmålasjön holds 6 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sarv schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Ellingsmålasjön 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.
