Södra Svartningstjärnet

Character of the water

Södra Svartningstjärnet lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Södra Svartningstjärnet

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