Character of the water

Piellokisjaure lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Piellokisjaure

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

Every session at Piellokisjaure 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.
