Character of the water

Fiskhustjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Fiskhustjärnen

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

Every session at Fiskhustjärnen 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.
