Character of the water

Hjortfloet lies in the south — a southern 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.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

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

Fishing Hjortfloet

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

Whoever fishes Hjortfloet regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
