Character of the water
Yttern lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings

Moderately deep (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Yttern FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
ruffe perch family
typically ~9 cm · can reach 14 cm
Ruffe holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
roach coarse fish

Fishing Yttern
Yttern holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ruffe, roach and sutare schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Yttern 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.
