Character of the water

Ögeln 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.

Large and deep (24 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Ögeln FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Ögeln

perch predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 40 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
pike predatory fish
typically ~88 cm · can reach 101 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
roach coarse fish
typically ~19 cm · can reach 31 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
whitefish whitefish
typically ~19 cm · can reach 47 cm
Whitefish holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.
vendace whitefish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 12 cm
Vendace cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

Fishing Ögeln

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Ögeln, carried by roach, whitefish and vendace. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Ögeln 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.
