Character of the water
Ljungsjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic 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.
Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Ljungsjön 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.

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~52 cm · can reach 56 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~16 cm · can reach 28 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Ljungsjön
Ljungsjön holds 3 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Ljungsjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
