Character of the water

Rockå-Småsjöarna lies in the cold north — a northern humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Rockå-Småsjöarna

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Rockå-Småsjöarna, carried by bream, id and roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Whoever fishes Rockå-Småsjöarna regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
