Character of the water

Halen lies in the south — a southern humic brown forest lake. 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 — Halen 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.

Species in Halen

perch predatory fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 41 cm

typically ~21 cm · can reach 33 cm
Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
pike predatory fish
typically ~65 cm · can reach 65 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.

typically ~9 cm · can reach 15 cm
Ruffe works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~28 cm · can reach 28 cm

sarv fish
typically ~19 cm · can reach 22 cm
Sarv grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
whitefish whitefish
typically ~25 cm · can reach 34 cm
Whitefish roams the open water after the feed — a moving target.

Fishing Halen

Halen holds 8 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and bream, ruffe 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 Halen are alike.

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.
