Character of the water

Nedtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.

Fishing Nedtjärnen

Nedtjärnen holds 13 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål, bream and id schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Nedtjärnen 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

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