Character of the water

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

pike, salmon and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Stor-Tillammstjärnen, carried by ål, regnbåge and ruda. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
