Fishing Djuptjärnen
Djuptjärnen holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and roach, nors and vendace schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Djuptjärnen 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.
