Malgomaj

Character of the water

Malgomaj lies in the cold north — a northern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

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

Large and deep (111 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Malgomaj 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.

Fishing Malgomaj

Malgomaj holds 11 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and elritsa, id and roach schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Whoever fishes Malgomaj 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
