Character of the water

Fjölevatten lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

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

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (12 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Fjölevatten 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 Fjölevatten

typically ~14 cm · can reach 21 cm

Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

Ål holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

typically ~38 cm · can reach 65 cm

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

pike predatory fish

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~24 cm · can reach 27 cm

Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

ruda fish

typically ~18 cm · can reach 42 cm

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

sarv fish

typically ~18 cm · can reach 38 cm

Here sarv lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

Fishing Fjölevatten

Fjölevatten holds 7 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ål, bream and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Fjölevatten 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
