About

Norrtälje is a pretty little river that flows from Lake Lommaren and on down through the center of Norrtälje. Flows into the sea at the city harbor. Is just one km long. Runs on the top of the beside Norrtälje Hospital, where the river is lined with some reeds and grass, and then run in a more green part, where the stone wall is built by hand, and trees and other vegetation is dense. From bathhouse asphalted walkway follows the river down to the harbor. The local fishing club is working to create good fishing in the river.

Couple of times per year usually Norrtälje stream offer good trout fishing, the premiere January 1, and a week ahead, since it is usually low on fish until spring. In the spring, mid-March and into April, it backs down trout that had been in the lakes over the winter and then it will be short-lived good fishing in the river. Even shiny trout direct from the sea looking sometimes up the river, in search of food in mid-April. In good water flow in the fall, which happens not often, it caught a few trout.

Most fishing in Norrtälje in from the sea to the clubhouse, a distance of about 500m. There is some speed on the water and there are some nice holes for the fish to stop. It is only allowed to fly on this part of the river. The section above the clubhouse, which is also open for spin fishing is more slow flowing and also the many fine holes where sea trout are. Upper fishes best on trout that had been left over the winter. They are in the deeper holes, here we're talking about max 2m deep. Even fish that backs down after the overwintering of the upper rivers fill the stream in late March and early April.

Norrtälje stream is easily accessible and it's pretty easy to find the fish. It is relatively shallow, about 2m at the deepest places and the river is no wider a 10 m, except at a short distance above the clubhouse. The best stretch is the wall just below the theater. Average weight of sea trout to about 2.5 kg, and even the occasional rainbow trout usually captured.
