Character of the water

Ockertjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Ockertjärnen

Ockertjärnen holds 6 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain and whitefish schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Ockertjärnen 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.
