Fishing for tench — practise in real Swedish lakes

tench is documented in 2159 Swedish lakes on provfiska. Open a lake below and the simulation starts with tench as the target — fish the water as it is right now, or turn time, season and weather.

Typical length: 42–51 cm · max 64 cmMost common depth: <3 mBest months: May, Jun, Jul, AugDocumented in: 2159 lakes (690 survey-fished)

Where in the depth column is tench?

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 tench?

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.
