Character of the water
Rumpesjön 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.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (15 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

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