Blankaborrtjärnen
Character of the water
Blankaborrtjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern humic brown forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Blankaborrtjärnen
Fishing Blankaborrtjärnen
perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Blankaborrtjärnen, carried by bream, id and roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Blankaborrtjärnen are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
