Character of the water
Sången lies in central Sweden — a 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.
Permits & rules
Fishing permit required — Sången FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.
Species in Sången
perch predatory fish
typically ~11 cm · can reach 32 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
typically ~51 cm · can reach 52 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Sången
Sången 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.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Sången are alike.
