Ormsjön

Ormsjön is put and take in Hofors municipality. FFK Dunkroken stocks rainbow trout. You buy a separate permit for this water — an area permit for surrounding lakes is not enough. A club lake open to the public with a day permit. Not Ormsjön in other counties.

Species

The main species is planted rainbow trout. It is the planted salmonids you fish here, not pike in a natural water.

Rainbow trout in a bounded lake often sit close to the bank after a stocking and then spread toward deeper parts.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Methods we filter on are fly fishing. Fly fishing. Other methods are not documented as allowed. Boat motors are often banned in this kind of water — follow the seller, not a forum.

Lures and flies

On fly: nymph, pupa and a simple streamer in olive, black or orange. Scented baits can be banned — that sits with the seller. The tips are general for fishing after planted salmonids. Leave the spinner at home — this is a fly lake.

When they bite

Planted salmonids are liveliest in cool water and just after a restocking. Dawn and dusk often beat high sun. When the association last stocked you read with the permit seller.

Getting there

The lake sits in Hofors municipality. Pack a fly rod — spin and bait are not allowed here. The map pin points at the named water, not at the town. Park where it is signed.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. The permit is personal. Quota, season and what applies for children change. Bring the confirmation digitally or printed.
