Character of the water
Brurevatten lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (16 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Species in Brurevatten
perch predatory fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 40 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
trout salmonids
typically ~36 cm · can reach 45 cm
Trout is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Brurevatten
Brurevatten holds 2 species, with perch and trout at the top of the chain. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.
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 Brurevatten are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
