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

Species in Iglasjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
ål fish
typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm
Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.
pike predatory fish
typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 32 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
sutare fish
typically ~35 cm · can reach 60 cm
Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
Fishing Iglasjön
Iglasjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ål, roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Iglasjön 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.
