Character of the water

Övre Grästjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

  • Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

Fishing Övre Grästjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Övre Grästjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Övre Grästjärnen is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
