Inre Arvidsträsket

Character of the water

Inre Arvidsträsket lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest 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 (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Inre Arvidsträsket

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

Every session at Inre Arvidsträsket 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.
