Character of the water

Djuptjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 7 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

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

Fishing Djuptjärnen

perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Djuptjärnen, carried by roach and vendace. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

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.
