Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Gräsgöl
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Gräsgöl, carried by roach and ruffe. 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 Gräsgöl are alike.
