Character of the water

Sänningen lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic 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 (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Sänningen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Fishing Sänningen
