Fishing Lögdasjön
Lögdasjön holds 8 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and roach, whitefish and stäm schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
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 Lögdasjön are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
