Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Lilla tjärnen

Lilla tjärnen holds 4 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Lilla tjärnen 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.
