Character of the water

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

The surroundings

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

Fishing Ratnilompolo

Ratnilompolo holds 5 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Ratnilompolo 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.
