Character of the water
Kolvåsasjön lies in the south — a southern 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 (17 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Kolvåsasjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 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 Kolvåsasjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~26 cm · can reach 30 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
pike predatory fish
typically ~38 cm · can reach 42 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Kolvåsasjön
Kolvåsasjön holds 2 species, with perch and pike 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 Kolvåsasjön 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.
