Fishing Stenbergtjärnarna
Stenbergtjärnarna holds 6 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and roach, bream and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Stenbergtjärnarna are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
