Character of the water

Lilla Njupsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic 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.

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

Fishing permit required — Lilla Njupsjön 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.

Burbot lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

whitefish whitefish

typically ~30 cm · can reach 55 cm

Fishing Lilla Njupsjön

perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Njupsjön, carried by whitefish. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Lilla Njupsjön 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.
