Character of the water

Kropptjärnarna lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic 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 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.

Fishing Kropptjärnarna

Kropptjärnarna holds 9 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and roach, regnbåge and vendace schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
