Species in Lillsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm

Arctic char hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
Fishing Lillsjön
Lillsjön holds 2 species, with perch and Arctic char at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
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
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
