Species in Geijaure
perch predatory fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
pike predatory fish
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.
stensimpa fish
typically ~8 cm · can reach 15 cm
Stensimpa holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
Fishing Geijaure
Geijaure holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and stensimpa schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Geijaure are alike.
