Rusken is a eutrophic lake with a wide variety of species and an area of about 33 square kilometres. It is 18 metres at its deepest point. Rusken is classed as one of Sweden's best zander lakes with catches weighing up to 11 kg. You'll also find various other species here including pike, European perch, bream, burbot and eel. Lake Kalvsjön is five kilometres from Rusken and includes salmon (sea) trout and rainbow trout.

You can use a rod and line, spinning rod or trolling equipment to catch zander in the spring, summer and autumn. You can go ice fishing for pike in winter and use a spinning rod in spring and autumn - even in the summer in the deep parts of the lake.
