Nedre Kårtyllasjön
Character of the water
Nedre Kårtyllasjön 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 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 (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Nedre Kårtyllasjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Nedre Kårtyllasjön, carried by bream, ruffe and id. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Whoever fishes Nedre Kårtyllasjön 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
- Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
