About the fishing here

Siljan in Dalarna lies in a ring-shaped crater left by a meteorite impact many millions of years ago, and the lake is deep, cold and clear. Brown trout, Arctic char, grayling and whitefish belong to the cold water, while pike and perch hold shallower in toward shore. It is a large, open lake, so the weather can turn fast out on the bays.

Popular catches here include Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Arctic Char, Whitefish, European Perch and Grayling.

For Northern Pike, the fishing tends to peak around Apr-May, Sep-Oct. The best windows are usually dawn 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.
