Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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

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

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm

Fishing Tjuonajaure

Tjuonajaure holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and ruffe schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Tjuonajaure 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.
