Character of the water

Paviken lies in the south — a southern humic brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

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

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Paviken 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 Paviken

perch predatory fish
typically ~8 cm · can reach 23 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~69 cm · can reach 78 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~8 cm · can reach 14 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
ruda fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 13 cm
Ruda works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.
sarv fish
typically ~14 cm · can reach 20 cm
Sarv grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.
sutare fish
typically ~10 cm · can reach 11 cm
Sutare works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

Fishing Paviken

Paviken holds 6 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach, ruda and sarv schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Paviken 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

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
