Stundalstjärnen

Character of the water

Stundalstjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern 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 Stundalstjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Stundalstjärnen, carried by roach and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Stundalstjärnen 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.
