Fishing Sämsjötjärnen

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

Every session at Sämsjötjärnen 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.
