Character of the water

Skäggträsket lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.

Fishing Skäggträsket

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

Every session at Skäggträsket 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.
