Character of the water

Lilla Sirsjön lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic deep lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (40 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Lilla Sirsjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

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

löja fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 20 cm

Here löja lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

roach coarse fish

Fishing Lilla Sirsjön

Lilla Sirsjön holds 5 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and löja and roach 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 Lilla Sirsjön 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.
