Långöns Vatten

Character of the water

Långöns Vatten lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 3 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Långöns Vatten FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

• Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
• Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Långöns Vatten

pike sit at the top of the food chain in Långöns Vatten, carried by ål and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Långöns Vatten is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
