Lill-Blitjärn
Character of the water
Lill-Blitjärn lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland 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.

Species in Lill-Blitjärn
Fishing Lill-Blitjärn
perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Lill-Blitjärn, carried by regnbåge and whitefish. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.
Every session at Lill-Blitjärn 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
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
