Character of the water
Kojtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

- Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

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