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

Fishing Lapptjärnen
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Lapptjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Lapptjärnen 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.
