Djupavatjärnen
Character of the water
Djupavatjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Species in Djupavatjärnen
Fishing Djupavatjärnen
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Djupavatjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Djupavatjärnen is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
