Vattnet ritar ut 596 hektar med 25.1 km strand, uppbruten av 7 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.9) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 70% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 5.6 km, som bredast 2.3 km. Vattnet hör till Söderhamn kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Mörtsjön, 4.8 km åt väster.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
