Character of the water

Silisanlamm lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland 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.

Moderately deep (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Silisanlamm

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Silisanlamm, carried by elritsa, roach and regnbåge. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Every session at Silisanlamm 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
