pike predatory fish

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

Grayling moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

burbot bottom fish

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Fishing Pajep Harrok

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

Every session at Pajep Harrok 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.
