Character of the water

Hundsjön lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

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.

Large and deep (26 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Hundsjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Hundsjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~21 cm · can reach 21 cm
Perch grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
elritsa fish
typically ~10 cm · can reach 10 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps elritsa moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 17 cm
In the murky light, pike shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 23 cm
Burbot works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
Arctic char salmonids
typically ~16 cm · can reach 30 cm
In the murky light, Arctic char shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.
whitefish whitefish
typically ~32 cm · can reach 37 cm
Whitefish follows the schools through open water — here today, gone tomorrow.
vendace whitefish
typically ~25 cm · can reach 32 cm
Vendace roams the open water after the feed — a moving target.

Fishing Hundsjön

Hundsjön holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and elritsa, whitefish and vendace schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Every session at Hundsjön is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
