Lilla Älgtjärnen

Character of the water

Lilla Älgtjärnen lies in the south — a southern 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.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Lilla Älgtjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

• Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Lilla Älgtjärnen

perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Älgtjärnen. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Lilla Älgtjärnen 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.
