Character of the water

Långsjön lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (24 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Långsjön 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 Långsjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 36 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~31 cm · can reach 31 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~32 cm · can reach 32 cm
Down on the bottom burbot sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.
roach coarse fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 20 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
nors fish
typically ~10 cm · can reach 15 cm
Nors follows the schools through open water — here today, gone tomorrow.
vendace whitefish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 11 cm
Vendace follows the schools through open water — here today, gone tomorrow.

Fishing Långsjön

Långsjön holds 6 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach, nors and vendace schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Långsjön are alike.

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