Character of the water

Ljussjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

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 (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Ljussjön 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 Ljussjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~11 cm · can reach 36 cm

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

bream coarse fish

typically ~19 cm · can reach 42 cm

Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

pike predatory fish

typically ~66 cm · can reach 66 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 23 cm

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

Fishing Ljussjön

Ljussjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream 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 Ljussjön are alike.
