Hur är isen på tämnaren?

[Maruder]

Har den börjat släppa än? Har dålig koll på hur tjock den varit i år då jag inte vart ut och pimplat nåt..

[Paul R. Statham]

I'd also like to know this if possible please, looking to go there possibly this Easter weekend

[Maruder]

For two days ago the ice was still there I hope to be able to wet my boat for the easter, send me a PM if you want to join up for fishing

[Paul R. Statham]

Hi Marauder, nice to meet you! Well we (the wife and our Mops!) were planning to really just shore fish somewhere new but it could definitely be good to meet up to chat for some local knowledge! What day did you plan to go? We don't have a car so we'll be going by bus from Tierp to whichever bus stop is nearest to somewhere fishable, I was trying to find out where to buy the tickets and I read you can get them from a machine at the "armour" but I wasn't sure what the armour would be? Do you plan to do an "ice check" again this week before deciding whether to go or not?

[Maruder]

Hi again Im not really sure, but i think that friday and/or sunday, depending on the weather. It aint so easy to go by bus to tämnaren, its i bit "off" from, well, everywhere. You will have to walk about 5km from the busstop at lindsbro to come to gäddviken, and its even longer from the busstop before harbo to järpebo. If you just want to shorefish i would normaly rekomend dalälven to you, but now the water is REALLY high so im not sure its fishable at all..

Fishing licence for tämnaren can you buy in östervåla, at the hardware store. Or at the machine in harbonäs (but that is even longer, its a few km from järpebo). It cost about 60:- for one day, and 250:- for a year.

Yep, i will try to do a check again soon. I really hope that it will dissapear tomorrow..

[Placebo]

Still me, I signed up a proper account as connecting with FB wasn't working so great

250 for the year? That's pretty good if it's as fishable and contains a wide variety of fish as it sounds, we're especially interested in the catfish it has, a species I've never caught! We were thinking about taking the bus to one of these stops:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=bus&aq=&sll=60.175395,17.298918&sspn=0.017438,0.066047&ie=UTF8&rq=1&ev=zi&split=1&radius=1.36&hq=bus&hnear=&ll=60.176697,17.308531&spn=0.034874,0.132093&z=14

That way we're only about 750m or so from the lake, only thing is I know that some of the lake is privately owned as we actually found out about it from this holiday apartment advertisement: http://www.ferienhaus2100.com/nc/de/..._See_Taemnaren so of course we don't want to get there and find out we can't fish! I emailed the apartment owner to ask if it's possible to pay them for a day's fishing but so far no reply.

I guess if we can't sort out Tämnaren in time we'll probably end up going somewhere like Marma, with it being a river I assume it's defrosted by now!

Another one we were considering was Strömaren, it's not too far from Tierp and seems to have a good choice of fish, have you tried there before? Any luck?

So far we've just fished at Skärplinge, had to go there to pick up a package and I saw the river opens up nice and wide for a stretch, was very cold and windy still but we managed to get our first fish of the year so that was something

Yep, it aint expensive to fish in tämnaren. But it's a bit special, just over 2m deep and a PLENTY of stones ;-)

It holds a lot of (big) pearch, pike, pikepeach. And also carpfishes (ruda & braxen) and lake (lota lota).

At Aspnäs it's usually a lot of "vass" (i dont know whats it called in english) in the water that makes it difficult to fish there, but this early at the year it might work ok. I havent been there in over 5 years now...

I have fished in tämnaren in 15 years now, and i have never got my fishing licence checked...

Dalälven (Marma, Älvkarleby etc) have been ice free for almost a moth now, but the water is really high..

I have never fished in Strömaren, but there is a nice P&T water in Söderfors not far from Tierp called hjällsjön. But its probably frozen..

If just the ice let go of tämnaren you have a very nice water, but it's a lot easier to fish there with a boat..

Your wife and dog are almost as cute as my girl and dog

Aha funnily enough I was going to ask about Söderfors as well as I've seen the big lake on the map, wasn't sure of the name of the lake though, we only do catch and release so that's no problem Does it require a license?

[Placebo]

BTW what kind of fishing do you do? Being English I'm born and raised on bog standard coarse fishing with a float so that's always my preference, waiting on a delivery of 500 worms from Germany which hopefully will arrive today, great way to get rid of refuse in an environmentally friendly manner and you always have bait in the wormery in the basement We also try fishing with lures but it's new to us so we're amateurs in that regard, I was also thinking of getting some bleak/roach from the river near us (Tämnarån) and trying some deadbait fishing, we really don't like killing anything we catch but figure we can be forgiven for a few small bleak/roach which would be pike food anyways

[Maruder]

A license for hjällsjön can be bought at the local gas station in söderfors, it costs about 80:-/a day. The lake is "rotenoled" (poisoned to kill all pikes) but it did'nt work 100% so there is still a few pikes in the water, but besides that it's only steelheads in the water. They have a website, http://www.soderfors.nu/hjallsjon.htm

Hehe, that's a nice relaxing type of fishing Personaly i fish with lures, and also jerkbait for pike. But i would like to try deadbait trolling, it seems do be deadly effective for pike. For pike i use "catch and release", but i love to eat a nice, fresh pearch

If you want an inside tip for a lure to tämnaren, the swedish "abu droppen silver 8g" (http://www.beten.nu/se/art/droppen-8-gram.php) is deadly for pearch there
