Character of the water
Åsättern lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (15 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Åsättern
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Åsättern, carried by roach and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Åsättern is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
