Character of the water

Ekerudtjärnet lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 7 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 (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

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

Fishing Ekerudtjärnet

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

Every session at Ekerudtjärnet 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.
