Character of the water

Jåvllajávrátje lies in the cold north — a northern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Jåvllajávrátje

Jåvllajávrátje holds 6 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach, bream and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Jåvllajávrátje 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

  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
