Character of the water
Gökhultesjön 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 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing permit required — Gökhultesjön 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 Gökhultesjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~10 cm · can reach 28 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
bream coarse fish
typically ~24 cm · can reach 45 cm
Bream lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.
pike predatory fish
typically ~53 cm · can reach 92 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
sarv fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 20 cm
Here sarv lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Gökhultesjön
Gökhultesjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream and sarv schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Gökhultesjön 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.
