Character of the water

Mjögasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Mjögasjön 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 Mjögasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 28 cm

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

elritsa fish

typically ~6 cm · can reach 6 cm

Elritsa moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

pike predatory fish

typically ~50 cm · can reach 69 cm

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

Fishing Mjögasjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Mjögasjön, carried by elritsa. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Mjögasjön 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.
