Character of the water

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Käftedammarna

Käftedammarna is a water for those who like ruda. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

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 Käftedammarna are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
