Character of the water
Lersjön lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.
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 (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Lersjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Species in Lersjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 18 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
bream coarse fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 22 cm
Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
pike predatory fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 46 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 21 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
sarv fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 18 cm
Sarv grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
Fishing Lersjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Lersjön, carried by bream, roach and sarv. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.
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 Lersjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
