Character of the water

Asplövstjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 12 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (28 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Asplövstjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Asplövstjärnen

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

roach coarse fish

typically ~18 cm · can reach 32 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Fishing Asplövstjärnen

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

Every session at Asplövstjärnen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Stratified, oxygen-poor lakes push the fish up above the thermocline in summer.
