Character of the water

Grysjön 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 sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Grysjön 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 Grysjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 41 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~35 cm · can reach 43 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 28 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

Fishing Grysjön

Grysjön holds 3 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Grysjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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