Character of the water

Hållsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (19 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Hållsjön 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 Hållsjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 32 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
pike predatory fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 49 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
ruffe perch family
typically ~7 cm · can reach 11 cm
Ruffe lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.
roach coarse fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 20 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

Fishing Hållsjön

Hållsjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ruffe and roach schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Every session at Hållsjön 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

  • In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
