The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (18 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Nedre Myrgubbsjön

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

Every session at Nedre Myrgubbsjön 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

  • In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
