Character of the water

Bresiljorna lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Bresiljorna

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Bresiljorna, carried by björkna, bream and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
