Character of the water

Hagsjön 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 half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Hagsjön 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.

Roach grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
sarv fish

Down on the bottom sutare sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.

Fishing Hagsjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Hagsjön, carried by roach, sarv and sutare. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Every session at Hagsjön 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.
