Kvarnsjön

Character of the water

Kvarnsjön lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Kvarnsjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

• Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).
• Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Kvarnsjön

zander sit at the top of the food chain in Kvarnsjön, carried by bream. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Whoever fishes Kvarnsjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
