Character of the water
Utlandsgölen 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 (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Utlandsgölen FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

Fishing Utlandsgölen
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Utlandsgölen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Utlandsgölen are alike.
