Character of the water

Tannsjön lies in central Sweden — a nutrient-rich lowland lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Large and deep (30 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

  • Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Tannsjön

perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Tannsjön, carried by ruffe, roach and whitefish. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Every session at Tannsjön 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

  • In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
