Character of the water
Hullsjön lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Hullsjön 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 Hullsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~10 cm · can reach 27 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 14 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
sarv fish
typically ~8 cm · can reach 9 cm
Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Fishing Hullsjön
Hullsjön holds 3 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain 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 Hullsjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
