Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Lill-Backsjön

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

Every session at Lill-Backsjön 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

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