Character of the water

Rusvattenbaksjön lies in the cold north — a northern 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.

Fishing permit required — Rusvattenbaksjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

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

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

roach coarse fish

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

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Fishing Rusvattenbaksjön

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

Every session at Rusvattenbaksjön 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.
