Character of the water
Eggsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings

Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~76 cm · can reach 117 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~25 cm · can reach 29 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
whitefish whitefish
typically ~37 cm · can reach 39 cm
Whitefish cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.
Fishing Eggsjön
Eggsjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and whitefish schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Eggsjön 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.
