Character of the water

Tjärnesjön lies in the south — a southern 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.

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.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Tjärnesjön FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

typically ~22 cm · can reach 42 cm

typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

typically ~48 cm · can reach 48 cm

Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

typically ~67 cm · can reach 95 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

typically ~45 cm · can reach 90 cm

Burbot lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

roach coarse fish

typically ~17 cm · can reach 31 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

whitefish whitefish

typically ~30 cm · can reach 52 cm

Whitefish cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

vendace whitefish

typically ~14 cm · can reach 21 cm

Vendace holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.

Fishing Tjärnesjön

The species list of Tjärnesjön runs to 8. The predators — perch, pike and burbot — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.

Whoever fishes Tjärnesjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

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.
