Abborragölen

Character of the water

Abborragölen lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 16 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (48 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Abborragölen FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

Fishing Abborragölen

Abborragölen holds 5 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach and bream schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Abborragölen are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Stratified, oxygen-poor lakes push the fish up above the thermocline in summer.
• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
