Character of the water

Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Långevatten

typically ~12 cm · can reach 35 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
ål fish
typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm
Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.
pike predatory fish
typically ~47 cm · can reach 48 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 24 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Långevatten
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Långevatten, carried by ål and roach. 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 Långevatten are alike.
