Character of the water

Sjöakullasjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic 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.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Sjöakullasjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 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.
sutare fish
typically ~35 cm · can reach 60 cm
Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Fishing Sjöakullasjön

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

Every session at Sjöakullasjön 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.
