Character of the water

The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Nybogölen
Nybogölen holds 2 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Nybogölen 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
