Character of the water

Liss-Gunnarsviken lies in central Sweden — a humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Liss-Gunnarsviken

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Liss-Gunnarsviken, carried by elritsa, roach and whitefish. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Every session at Liss-Gunnarsviken 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

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
