Skagern is to the surface Sweden's 18th largest lake and a former bay to Lake Vänern with a depth of about 75 meters.

Skagern's waters are divided into two waters with a navigable strait between the two lakes Lilla Skagern and Skagern, sometimes also called Lillskagern and Storskagern.

Lilla Skagern is shallow, max 4 meters, a little darker and usually contains mostly pike, perch, whitefish, roach, bream, tench, and a few remaining pikeperch.

The Skagerland is deeper, maximum depth about 75 meters and slightly better visibility. Here there is plenty of pikeperch, pike, perch and whitefish. The trout are difficult to catch as they decrease in number each year, most disappear largely due to Gullspång's power plant. It offers perfect conditions for all types of fishing. Approximately in the middle of large Skagern there is a large shallow that goes up to as shallow as 6 meters where vertical, pimple and spin fishing are extremely popular.
