About the fishing here

Erken in Roslagen is Uppland's third largest lake, studied so thoroughly that Uppsala University runs a limnological laboratory at Norra Malma on its southern shore. For the angler it is the zander that stands out, with pike and perch in the same water and burbot down deep. The lake once supplied Norrtälje with drinking water, and it drains through the Broströmmen toward the sea.

Anglers here regularly land Northern Pike, European Perch, Roach, Burbot, Zander and Common Bream.

Northern Pike is generally most active around Apr-May, Sep-Oct. The best windows are usually dawn, day and dusk.

A fishing permit (fiskekort) is required here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
