Character of the water

Bergtjärnet lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

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.

Moderately deep (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Bergtjärnet FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

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

typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm

Elritsa moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

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

löja fish

typically ~12 cm · can reach 20 cm

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

stensimpa fish

typically ~8 cm · can reach 15 cm

Stensimpa holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Fishing Bergtjärnet

Bergtjärnet holds 8 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål, elritsa and löja schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Bergtjärnet regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
