Lilla Björnsjön

Character of the water

Lilla Björnsjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 4 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lilla Björnsjön

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Björnsjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Lilla Björnsjön 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.
