Character of the water
Norrbysjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest 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.
Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Norrbysjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Norrbysjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Norrbysjön 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.
