Norra Asplången

Character of the water

Norra Asplången lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

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

Large and deep (27 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

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

• Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Norra Asplången

Norra Asplången holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ruffe and roach schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Every session at Norra Asplången 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.
