Character of the water

Kvarntjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Kvarntjärnen

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

Every session at Kvarntjärnen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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