Character of the water

Lillesjön lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (15 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Lillesjön 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.

Species in Lillesjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 40 cm
Perch grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
pike predatory fish
typically ~74 cm · can reach 82 cm
In the murky light, pike shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm
Burbot works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
roach coarse fish
typically ~20 cm · can reach 29 cm
Roach grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.

Fishing Lillesjön

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

Every session at Lillesjön 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.
