Character of the water

Långtjärn lies in the south — a southern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Långtjärn FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Species in Långtjärn

perch predatory fish

typically ~20 cm · can reach 27 cm

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

ål fish

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

pike predatory fish

typically ~53 cm · can reach 67 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

roach coarse fish

typically ~23 cm · can reach 31 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

whitefish whitefish

typically ~30 cm · can reach 55 cm

Whitefish cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

Fishing Långtjärn

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Långtjärn, carried by ål, roach and whitefish. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Långtjärn 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

Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
