Nedre Klingen
Character of the water
Nedre Klingen 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.

Species in Nedre Klingen
Fishing Nedre Klingen
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Nedre Klingen, carried by ål, bream and ruffe. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Whoever fishes Nedre Klingen 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.
