Character of the water

Skärsjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep 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.

Large and deep (30 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

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

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Skärsjön

perch predatory fish
typically ~16 cm · can reach 42 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
burbot bottom fish
typically ~27 cm · can reach 27 cm
Burbot holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
roach coarse fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 29 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Arctic char salmonids
typically ~35 cm · can reach 70 cm
In the clear water Arctic char picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
whitefish whitefish
typically ~30 cm · can reach 55 cm
Whitefish holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.
vendace whitefish
typically ~19 cm · can reach 22 cm
Vendace cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

Fishing Skärsjön

Skärsjön holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach, whitefish and vendace schooling beneath them. 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.
