Character of the water
Långsjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
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.
Moderately deep (13 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

- Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

Fishing Långsjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Långsjön, carried by ål, asp and björkna. 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 Långsjön are alike.
