Nockerödvattnet

Character of the water

Nockerödvattnet lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

The surroundings

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

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Nockerödvattnet FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

Fishing Nockerödvattnet

Nockerödvattnet holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ål, roach and whitefish schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Nockerödvattnet 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
