Character of the water

Slagesnässjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (21 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Species in Slagesnässjön

perch predatory fish

typically ~11 cm · can reach 30 cm

Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

typically ~19 cm · can reach 27 cm

Bream lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

pike predatory fish

typically ~40 cm · can reach 51 cm

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

zander predatory fish

typically ~50 cm · can reach 95 cm

In the clear water zander picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~28 cm · can reach 28 cm

Burbot holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

roach coarse fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 23 cm

Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

sarv fish

typically ~8 cm · can reach 14 cm

Here sarv lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

Fishing Slagesnässjön

Slagesnässjön holds 7 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and bream, roach and sarv schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Every session at Slagesnässjön 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

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
