Character of the water

Nils-Svenstjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Nils-Svenstjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Nils-Svenstjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Nils-Svenstjärnen 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.
