Character of the water

Iglasjön 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 half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Iglasjön 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 Iglasjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~9 cm · can reach 36 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
bream coarse fish
typically ~23 cm · can reach 59 cm
Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
pike predatory fish
typically ~40 cm · can reach 55 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 25 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
sarv fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 30 cm
Sarv grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
sutare fish
typically ~50 cm · can reach 50 cm
Sutare works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

Fishing Iglasjön

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

Every session at Iglasjön 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

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
