Character of the water

Karshultesjö 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 remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Karshultesjö FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

Fishing Karshultesjö

Karshultesjö holds 1 species, with perch at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Karshultesjö 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.
