The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Moderately deep (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Björnbergs-Uttertjärnen

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Björnbergs-Uttertjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
