Character of the water
Angasjön lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic 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.
Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Angasjön
Angasjön holds 6 species, with perch, pike and trout at the top of the chain and id and stäm schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Angasjön 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.
