Fishing Lännässjön/Fotingen

Lännässjön/Fotingen holds 8 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and regnbåge, whitefish and vendace 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/Fotingen 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.
