Övre Leksjön
Character of the water
Övre Leksjön lies in the south — a southern acidified brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Övre Leksjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water
