Lomtjärnen

Character of the water

Lomtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Lomtjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Fishing Lomtjärnen

Lomtjärnen holds 1 species, with perch at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Lomtjärnen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
