Character of the water
Hundsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (20 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Hundsjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.
Species in Hundsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 19 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Fishing Hundsjön
Hundsjön holds 1 species, with perch at the top of the chain. 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.
