Character of the water
Sörvattnet lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Sörvattnet 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.

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.
pike predatory fish
typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~21 cm · can reach 25 cm

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