Character of the water
Lillträsket lies in central Sweden — a 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.

Fishing permit required — Lillträsket FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Fishing Lillträsket
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Lillträsket, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Lillträsket regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
