Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Brånatjärnen

Brånatjärnen holds 5 species, with perch, pike and trout at the top of the chain and roach and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Brånatjärnen 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.
