Character of the water
Furusjön 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.
Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Furusjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 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 Furusjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 34 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
pike predatory fish
typically ~51 cm · can reach 51 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm
Burbot holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
roach coarse fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 30 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Fishing Furusjön
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Furusjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Furusjön is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
