Bosarpasjön, Spring lake in Hässleholm municipality, Sweden
Bosarpasjön is a spring lake in southern Sweden with a modest water surface surrounded by forest. The shoreline features recreational facilities to the north and residential cottages to the south.
Documents from the Lantmäterikontoret in Kristianstad record that the lake's outlet was moved westward at one point, which is said to have lowered the water level. In 1956 the lake was limed, and rainbow trout were stocked in the mid-1960s. Test fishing in 1988 and 2011 confirmed a decline in the fish stock, leading to a halt in fishing-license sales from 2010.
The area around the lake is listed by Skåne County Administrative Board as a particularly valuable cultural environment, citing its role as a recreation area since the mid-20th century. At the northern end, Sjövikens IF opened a mini golf course in 1954; south of the lake lies Bosarp's summer village with close to 50 developed plots.
The lake lies just under a mile southeast of Sösdala in Hässleholm municipality, in the Helge River basin. The northern end holds the mini golf course started by Sjövikens IF in 1954; south of the lake is Bosarp's summer village with close to 50 developed plots. Fishing licenses have not been sold since 2010, when a confirmed decline in the fish stock halted sales.
The lake is known for carp fishing, and test fishing in 2011 found bream and roach dominating, alongside perch, pike, zander, tench and eel. Comparisons with 1988 catches confirmed a decline in the fish stock, which led to a halt in fishing licence sales from 2010.
