Haukejauretjärnen

Character of the water

Haukejauretjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

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

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Haukejauretjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Fishing Haukejauretjärnen

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Haukejauretjärnen. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Haukejauretjärnen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
