About the fishing here
Sommen is a deep and unusually clear lake on the border between Östergötland and Småland, full of islands and narrow sounds. It has its own strain of trout, the Sommen trout, along with Arctic char in the cold deep water plus zander, pike and perch closer to shore. Clear water makes the fish wary, so the fishing is often best at dawn, dusk and under cloud.
Anglers here regularly land Zander, Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Whitefish, Arctic Char and European Perch.
Zander fishing is usually best around Jun-Aug. The best windows are usually dawn and dusk.
A fishing permit (fiskekort) is required here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
