Lilla Rämmingen
Character of the water
Lilla Rämmingen lies in central Sweden — a humic brown forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.
The surroundings
The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.
Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Lilla Rämmingen
Fishing Lilla Rämmingen
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Rämmingen, carried by elritsa, roach and nors. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Every session at Lilla Rämmingen 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
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
