The surroundings

Moderately deep (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Whoever fishes Intilltjärnen 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
- Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
