Huabergsgölen

Character of the water

Huabergsgölen lies in the south — a southern humic brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Huabergsgölen FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

Fishing Huabergsgölen

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Huabergsgölen, carried by roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Whoever fishes Huabergsgölen 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

• Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
