Character of the water

Starrkärret lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic 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.

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

Fishing permit required — Starrkärret FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

Fishing Starrkärret
