Character of the water

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

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

zander predatory fish

typically ~50 cm · can reach 95 cm

ruffe perch family

Fishing Sparmanselet

Sparmanselet holds 5 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Sparmanselet 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.
