Character of the water

Tornbaggagöl lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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

Fishing Tornbaggagöl

Tornbaggagöl holds 6 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach, ruffe and vendace schooling beneath them. 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 Tornbaggagöl are alike.
