Svedbergstjärnen
Character of the water
Svedbergstjärnen lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Species in Svedbergstjärnen
Fishing Svedbergstjärnen
perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Svedbergstjärnen, carried by roach and regnbåge. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Svedbergstjärnen 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.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
