Character of the water
Lillsjön lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (23 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

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

The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 17 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish

Fishing Lillsjön
The species list of Lillsjön runs to 3. The predators — perch and pike — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.
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 Lillsjön 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.
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
