Character of the water

Rolamp lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic deep lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (23 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Rolamp 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 Rolamp

perch predatory fish

typically ~15 cm · can reach 39 cm

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

ål fish

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~59 cm · can reach 67 cm

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

löja fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 20 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~18 cm · can reach 32 cm

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

Fishing Rolamp

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

Every session at Rolamp 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

In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
