Character of the water
Linnesjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (15 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 Linnesjön
Linnesjön holds 11 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and ål, bream and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Linnesjön 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.
