Fishing for ruffe — practise in real Swedish lakes

ruffe is documented in 2967 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with ruffe as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.

Typical length: 8–12 cm · max 24 cmMost common depth: 3-5.9 mDocumented in: 2967 lakes (1082 survey-fished)

Where in the depth column is ruffe?

Share of the national survey catch per depth zone. The simulation uses the same distribution — fish the right depth and you hook more, and bigger.

Which method takes ruffe?

The simulation's technique selectivity — how readily the species takes a lure, a baited float or a vertical jig. The wrong method doesn't catch the wrong fish, just like in real life.
