Character of the water

The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Laggetjärnet
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Laggetjärnet, carried by ål and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Laggetjärnet 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
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
