Character of the water
Långsjön lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Långsjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 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 moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Långsjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Långsjön. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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
- Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
