Character of the water

Agvattnet lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic forest lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (15 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Burbot holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

trout salmonids

In the clear water trout picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

vendace whitefish

typically ~16 cm · can reach 28 cm

Fishing Agvattnet

The species list of Agvattnet runs to 5. The predators — perch, pike and burbot — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.

Every session at Agvattnet 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.
