Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Kroktjärnen

Kroktjärnen holds 2 species, with trout and Arctic char at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Kroktjärnen regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
