Character of the water

Strindsjön lies in central Sweden — a humic brown forest lake. 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 (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Strindsjön 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.

Species in Strindsjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~15 cm · can reach 39 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

bream coarse fish

typically ~44 cm · can reach 54 cm

Bream works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

pike predatory fish

typically ~41 cm · can reach 43 cm

Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.

ruffe perch family

typically ~10 cm · can reach 13 cm

Ruffe works the bottom in the dark — smell and feel come before everything else.

roach coarse fish

typically ~13 cm · can reach 27 cm

The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.

Fishing Strindsjön

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Strindsjön, carried by bream, ruffe and roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Every session at Strindsjön 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

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