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

Species in Långtjärnen

pike predatory fish
typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm

regnbåge fish

In the murky light, regnbåge shadows the baitfish and hits in short rushes.

Fishing Långtjärnen

Långtjärnen holds 2 species, with pike at the top of the chain and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Långtjärnen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

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