Character of the water
Buvattnet lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings

Moderately deep (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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
typically ~27 cm · can reach 39 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

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