Character of the water
Skärsjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (20 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Skärsjön 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.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Skärsjön
Skärsjön holds 1 species, with pike at the top of the chain. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.
Every session at Skärsjön 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.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
