Character of the water

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Mosjön
Mosjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Mosjön 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.
