Character of the water

Häsberstj. lies in central Sweden — a humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Häsberstj.

Häsberstj. holds 11 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and asp, bream and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Häsberstj. 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
