Character of the water
Granshultasjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (33 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Granshultasjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Granshultasjön, carried by roach and bream. 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 Granshultasjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
