Korsbydammen

Character of the water

Korsbydammen lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

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.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Korsbydammen

Korsbydammen holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

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 Korsbydammen are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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