Character of the water
Målasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Målasjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 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 Målasjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 30 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
bream coarse fish
typically ~26 cm · can reach 36 cm
Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
pike predatory fish
typically ~53 cm · can reach 61 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 19 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Målasjön
Målasjön 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.
Whoever fishes Målasjön 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.
