Dunnervattnet

Character of the water

Dunnervattnet lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 8 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

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

Fishing Dunnervattnet

burbot, trout and Arctic char sit at the top of the food chain in Dunnervattnet, carried by elritsa. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Dunnervattnet regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
