The lake is about 20 km long and has a depth of about 45 m. The fishing is best along the edges, in bays and reeds. Trolling in open water can yield large pike and trout. There is also a chance of catching salmon as they now have a free migration path past the hydroelectric power plant.

Svansjön is a smaller lake, about 3 km long with forest all around. The lake is relatively shallow, 2–4 m, but with some deep holes of 12–13 m. Here there is a chance to catch large perch but also pike and plenty of roach. Perfect lake for a day of fishing with the family.
