Kloppmyrtjärnen
Character of the water
Kloppmyrtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a acidified brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Species in Kloppmyrtjärnen
Fishing Kloppmyrtjärnen
perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Kloppmyrtjärnen, carried by elritsa, roach and whitefish. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Every session at Kloppmyrtjärnen 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.
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.
- Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
