Character of the water

Lanaträsket lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Lanaträsket

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Lanaträsket, carried by bream, id and löja. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Lanaträsket are alike.
