Kastvedtjärnen
Character of the water
Kastvedtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.
Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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