Character of the water

Lilla Kroktjärn lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (13 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Lilla Kroktjärn

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Kroktjärn, carried by roach and vendace. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Lilla Kroktjärn 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.
