Character of the water

Holmasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Holmasjön 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 Holmasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 42 cm

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

bream coarse fish

typically ~19 cm · can reach 51 cm

Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

pike predatory fish

typically ~53 cm · can reach 53 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Burbot lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

roach coarse fish

typically ~15 cm · can reach 28 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

sarv fish

typically ~11 cm · can reach 19 cm

Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

sutare fish

typically ~40 cm · can reach 46 cm

Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Fishing Holmasjön

Holmasjön holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sarv 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 Holmasjön are alike.
