Character of the water

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

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.

Large and deep (19 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 — Yasjön 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.

Species in Yasjön

typically ~14 cm · can reach 41 cm

Perch grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.

ål fish

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

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

pike predatory fish

typically ~61 cm · can reach 64 cm

In the murky light, pike shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~56 cm · can reach 56 cm

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

roach coarse fish

typically ~17 cm · can reach 23 cm

Roach grazes the rich water in schools — where there's one, there are more.

whitefish whitefish

typically ~23 cm · can reach 24 cm

Whitefish follows the schools through open water — here today, gone tomorrow.

sutare fish

typically ~54 cm · can reach 54 cm

Down on the bottom sutare sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.

Fishing Yasjön

Yasjön holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål, roach and whitefish schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

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 Yasjön 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.
In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
