Bagsværd Sø

Anglers know Bagsværd Sø as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Bagsværd Sø is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Atlantic mackerel

  When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.

• For Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
