Character of the water

Lännässjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 7 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (24 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Lännässjön

Lännässjön holds 9 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and ål, elritsa and whitefish schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

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 Lännässjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
