Flatatjärn

Character of the water

Flatatjärn lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

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.

Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Flatatjärn

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

Whoever fishes Flatatjärn 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.
