Character of the water
Lunnesjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 7 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 (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lunnesjön
perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Lunnesjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Lunnesjön 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.
