Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Könsasjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Könsasjön, 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 Könsasjön are alike.
