Character of the water
Nordsjön lies in central Sweden — a 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Nordsjön 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 Nordsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 22 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~63 cm · can reach 67 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Nordsjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Nordsjön. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Nordsjön 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.
