Character of the water
Bosjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

Ål holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
pike predatory fish

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.
roach coarse fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 32 cm

vendace whitefish

Vendace cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.
Fishing Bosjön
Bosjön holds 6 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål, roach and vendace schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
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 Bosjön are alike.
