Character of the water

Paddingetorpasjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

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

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Paddingetorpasjön 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.

Species in Paddingetorpasjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 42 cm

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

bream coarse fish

typically ~25 cm · can reach 39 cm

Bream lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

pike predatory fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 48 cm

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Burbot holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

roach coarse fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 20 cm

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

Fishing Paddingetorpasjön

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

Every session at Paddingetorpasjön 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
