Håkas-Karltjärnen
Character of the water
Håkas-Karltjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 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.
Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Håkas-Karltjärnen
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Håkas-Karltjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Håkas-Karltjärnen 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.
