Character of the water
Bergsjön lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Bergsjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Bergsjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Bergsjön 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.
