Lill-Kastet
Character of the water
Lill-Kastet lies in central Sweden — a 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 (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

- Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

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