Character of the water

Timmertjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (12 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Zander: minimum size 45 cm · protected during the spawn (Apr–May).

Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Timmertjärnen

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

Every session at Timmertjärnen 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.
