Ljuskon is situated on a peninsula only 25 kilometres from Norkoping in the St Anna archipelago some 75 kilometres north of the famous Vastervik area. Here nature is still untouched and you can be a part of it. From your holiday home you look out over the beautiful lake 'Slatbaken' from where you sail in less than 10 minutes through the Trannefjord to the archipelago. Here there is a huge amount of hotspots where you can drift and cast. The water depths offer an immense amount of possibilities. Both at the bottom and underwater slopes but also on the shallows there is a large amount of interesting fishing spots that you can not all fish in one week! In short, you are going to run out of time!
From the end of April to the end of October pike, pike perch, perch and sea trout are fished here. The best pike period runs from April to October with a peak in spring and autumn. For pike perch and perch, May to September is perfect with a peak in May and June and sea trout is best in May and October. This location is ideal because it is located in a bay so you can generally always find a sheltered fishing spot even in poorer weather conditions.
Fishing is based on catch & release. Of course one fish for dinner is not a problem but in general there are no 'fishing tourists' who fill their freezers here. This means that good sport fishing is also guaranteed for the long term. It is not allowed to troll, but fishing focuses on vertical, spinning, fly fishing and dead bait fishing. These are all productive ways that lead to the annual catches of several metre pike. The camp record currently stands at 131 cm. Since the fishing water is connected to the sea, no permit is required to fish here.
