- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.
Species in Löttjärn
perch predatory fish
typically ~23 cm · can reach 40 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
regnbåge fish
typically ~35 cm · can reach 70 cm
Regnbåge is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Löttjärn
perch sit at the top of the food chain in Löttjärn, carried by regnbåge. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Löttjärn 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.
