Fishing Lill-Grundvattnet

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

Every session at Lill-Grundvattnet 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.
