Character of the water
Lindesjön lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lindesjön
Lindesjön holds 3 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Lindesjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
