Fishing Kläpptjärnen
Kläpptjärnen holds 9 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and havsoring-baltic and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Kläpptjärnen are alike.
