The pike in Lake Siljan with surrounding lakes can be a challenge to catch on a rod. The most common method of catching the pike is with trolling fishing, but the absolute greatest experience is to catch it with a spinning rod or fly rod. The fishing usually takes place pelagically on shallows and slopes, where many hundreds of casts need to be cast to get a bite. Siljan with surrounding lakes is a very nutrient-poor lake, like a mountain lake with hardly any grass at all to fish at. Siklöja (blikta) and Nors are a main food for the pike and trout in the lake, these stocks reside pelagically and of course the pike and trout live there as well. If you have a good patience and like to fish for forehead bones, you should of course try this fishing, it can give unforgettable big pike! that is catches up to 130cm.
