Description from the source
Show the full source description

Yxningen is a lake in south-eastern Östergötland at the intersection of the Skärkinds and Hammarkinds härader in Östergötland and Norra Tjusts härad in Småland. The lake is known for its fine water quality, with a maximum Secchi depth of seven metres. The greatest measured lake depth is 74 metres between the Slottet farm and Lindholmen. The lake extends three mil from Yxnerum in the north-west to Fallingeberg in the south-east and is one mil wide between Gärdsnäs in the south and Säverum in the north. The approximately 90 islands form an inland archipelago, which is why Yxningen is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. The lake’s area is approx. 31km² and is situated 38m above sea level. Since the end of the 1990s, the lake has attracted attention for its abundant fish stocks. However, it must be understood that all trout caught in the lake must be released. This applies regardless of the fish’s condition. Anyone who breaches this risks having their fishing tackle (including their boat) seized and forfeited. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 17. Only in the company of a guardian/adult/person who has a valid fishing permit (on that person’s quota). Yxningen is in the eastern part of Östergötland. The lake is a clear-water lake with great visibility. There are natural stocks of both char and trout in the lake. A concrete ramp is available below the course centre in Yxnerum. If you want to stay overnight, rooms can be hired at the course centre, which also has a “fishingcorner” for fishing discussions.
