Character of the water

Klingertjärnen lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland 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.

Fishing Klingertjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Klingertjärnen, carried by bream, ruffe and roach. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

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 Klingertjärnen are alike.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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