Nedre Vapstsjön

Character of the water

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

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Nedre Vapstsjön

grayling, trout and Arctic char sit at the top of the food chain in Nedre Vapstsjön. 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 Nedre Vapstsjön are alike.
