Character of the water

Vrångsdyveln lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. 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 (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Vrångsdyveln

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Vrångsdyveln. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Vrångsdyveln regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water
