Character of the water

Mullsjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 8 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.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (19 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Mullsjön

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Mullsjön, carried by ål, bream and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Mullsjön are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Stratified, oxygen-poor lakes push the fish up above the thermocline in summer.
