Vatthulta Sjö
Character of the water
Vatthulta Sjö lies in the south — a southern 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.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (22 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Species in Vatthulta Sjö
Fishing Vatthulta Sjö
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Vatthulta Sjö, carried by ål and 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 Vatthulta Sjö are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
