Character of the water

Spexhultasjön lies in the south — a southern humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Spexhultasjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Spexhultasjön

typically ~16 cm · can reach 41 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
pike predatory fish
typically ~53 cm · can reach 55 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 29 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
vendace whitefish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 18 cm
Vendace follows the schools through open water — here today, gone tomorrow.
sutare fish
typically ~42 cm · can reach 42 cm
Sutare works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

Fishing Spexhultasjön

Spexhultasjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach, vendace and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Spexhultasjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
