Character of the water

Hedasjön 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 remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Hedasjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 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 Hedasjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 31 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
bream coarse fish
typically ~28 cm · can reach 29 cm
Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
pike predatory fish
typically ~41 cm · can reach 41 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm
Down on the bottom burbot sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.
roach coarse fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 17 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

Fishing Hedasjön

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

Whoever fishes Hedasjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

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.
