Character of the water

Lyngsjön 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 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 (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

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

perch predatory fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 38 cm

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

bream coarse fish

typically ~23 cm · can reach 47 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~54 cm · can reach 55 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~17 cm · can reach 23 cm

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

sutare fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 45 cm

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

Fishing Lyngsjön

Lyngsjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Lyngsjön is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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