Lill-Bölsträsket
Character of the water
Lill-Bölsträsket lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 5 m and splits the lake into two worlds.
The surroundings
The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.
Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lill-Bölsträsket
perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Lill-Bölsträsket, carried by roach and whitefish. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Lill-Bölsträsket 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.
