Large and deep (43 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Fishing Åsunden

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Åsunden, carried by ål, bream and elritsa. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Åsunden 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
