Character of the water

Frogetorpesjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Frogetorpesjön FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Fishing Frogetorpesjön

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

Whoever fishes Frogetorpesjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
