Character of the water

Gruvsjön lies in the south — a southern humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Gruvsjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Gruvsjön

Gruvsjön is a water for those who like . The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Every session at Gruvsjön 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
