Character of the water

Nolare Tjärnet lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light. In summer a thermocline settles around 7 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 (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Nolare Tjärnet FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

Fishing Nolare Tjärnet

Nolare Tjärnet holds 5 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Nolare Tjärnet 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

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
