Character of the water
Bångasjön lies in the south — a southern 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 (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Bångasjön

pike predatory fish

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Bångasjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Bångasjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Bångasjön are alike.
