Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

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

Fishing Byasjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Byasjön, carried by bream and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Byasjön are alike.
