The surroundings

Fishing Likstammen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Likstammen, carried by roach, bream and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Likstammen 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

In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
