Character of the water
Tarmlången lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (12 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

Fishing Tarmlången
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Tarmlången, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Tarmlången are alike.
