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

Fishing Sör-Tjalmejaure

Sör-Tjalmejaure holds 6 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach, bream and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Sör-Tjalmejaure are alike.
