Character of the water
Mållsjön lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Mållsjön 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 Mållsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 41 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~44 cm · can reach 45 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~23 cm · can reach 30 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
sutare fish
typically ~47 cm · can reach 47 cm
Sutare works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
Fishing Mållsjön
Mållsjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and sutare 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 Mållsjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
