Character of the water

Nedre Haukansjön lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

  • Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
