Character of the water
Skårsjön lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Skårsjön
Skårsjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, ruffe and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Skårsjön 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
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
