Lill-Andtjärnen

Character of the water

Lill-Andtjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern nutrient-rich lowland lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 3 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lill-Andtjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Lill-Andtjärnen, carried by roach, bream and ruffe. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Whoever fishes Lill-Andtjärnen 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

• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
