Character of the water
Ryasjön 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 (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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

Species in Ryasjön

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

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Ryasjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Ryasjön. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Ryasjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
