Lill-Öretjärnen

Character of the water

Lill-Öretjärnen 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 (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lill-Öretjärnen

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

Whoever fishes Lill-Öretjärnen 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.
