Character of the water

Ljushultasjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Ljushultasjön 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.

typically ~11 cm · can reach 34 cm

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

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~53 cm · can reach 72 cm

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

roach coarse fish

Fishing Ljushultasjön

Ljushultasjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ål and roach schooling beneath them. 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 Ljushultasjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
