Character of the water
Grytsjön lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.
The surroundings

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

Species in Grytsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 41 cm
Perch grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
pike predatory fish
typically ~48 cm · can reach 60 cm
In the murky light, pike shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.
roach coarse fish
typically ~25 cm · can reach 36 cm
Roach grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
sutare fish

Down on the bottom sutare sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.
Fishing Grytsjön
Grytsjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Grytsjön 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
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
