Fish Sunnerbosjön Buy forecast

Character of the water

Sunnerbosjön lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Sunnerbosjön

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Sunnerbosjön, carried by ål, bream and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Sunnerbosjön 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.
Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
