Character of the water

Tussjö lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (17 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Tussjö 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 Tussjö

perch predatory fish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 48 cm

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

pike predatory fish

typically ~66 cm · can reach 71 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

roach coarse fish

typically ~21 cm · can reach 38 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

regnbåge fish

typically ~47 cm · can reach 53 cm

In the clear water regnbåge picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

sarv fish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 15 cm

Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

Fishing Tussjö

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Tussjö, carried by roach, regnbåge and sarv. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

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 Tussjö are alike.

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.
