Character of the water

Salshultasjön lies in the south — a southern 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 (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Salshultasjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

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

Species in Salshultasjön

typically ~58 cm · can reach 63 cm

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

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 25 cm

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

vendace whitefish

typically ~25 cm · can reach 25 cm

Vendace cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

sutare fish

typically ~52 cm · can reach 52 cm

Sutare lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

Fishing Salshultasjön

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

Every session at Salshultasjön 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.
