The surroundings

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lilla Kröntjärn
zander sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Kröntjärn. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Lilla Kröntjärn are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
