Character of the water
Örasjön 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.
Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Örasjön
Örasjön holds 10 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and ål, elritsa and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Örasjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
