Mogölen
Character of the water
Mogölen lies in the south — a southern humic brown forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Mogölen
Fishing Mogölen
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Mogölen, carried by bream, roach and ruda. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Every session at Mogölen 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.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
