Character of the water

Solnen lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Solnen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

pike predatory fish
typically ~53 cm · can reach 56 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
roach coarse fish

Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
sarv fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 20 cm

sutare fish
typically ~47 cm · can reach 49 cm
Sutare lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

Fishing Solnen

The species list of Solnen runs to 5. The predators — perch and pike — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.

Every session at Solnen 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.
