Lake Rusträsket

The Lake Rusträsket
Rusträsket is one of the biggest lakes in the municipality of Lycksele. The depth is dropping down to 15 m in the deepest parts. But close to the bank, where most of the pike fishing is done, the depth is normally between 2-4 m.
The most common species are pike, perch and roach, and other species in the lake are trout, grayling and white fish. The trout and grayling are spawning in the beautiful, little river of Rusbäcken. There has been no study of the water depth in Rusträsket, so a detailed map of the different depth zone cannot be displayed.
The bottom most often follows the landscape next to the water. If the land is flat close to the bank, you can expect that the water is also quite shallow in that area. LFF Pike competition is placed on the north side (north of the marked at the village Hedvik) of the lake.

Practise in Rusträsket is not allowed 30 days prior to the competition. Practise can be done in the river Ume älv next to the camping, where competitors have free fishing before/after the LFF. Boat can be hired at the reception.
