Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Ormsjön

Ormsjön is a water for those who like . The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Whoever fishes Ormsjön 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

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
