Puoltikasjärvi

Character of the water

Puoltikasjärvi lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

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

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Puoltikasjärvi

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

Every session at Puoltikasjärvi 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.
