Knutstorpssjön

Character of the water

Knutstorpssjön lies in the south — a southern humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

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 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Knutstorpssjön

Arctic char sit at the top of the food chain in Knutstorpssjön, carried by bream. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Whoever fishes Knutstorpssjön 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.
