Character of the water

Hallsjön 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 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.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (17 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Hallsjön 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 Hallsjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~16 cm · can reach 45 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

bream coarse fish

typically ~27 cm · can reach 50 cm

Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

pike predatory fish

typically ~54 cm · can reach 69 cm

Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.

roach coarse fish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 23 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

sarv fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 17 cm

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

sutare fish

typically ~47 cm · can reach 47 cm

Sutare works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

Fishing Hallsjön

Hallsjön holds 6 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sarv schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

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