Character of the water

The surroundings
The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.
Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Luspasjaure
Luspasjaure holds 2 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
