Character of the water

Norder-Arslöstjärn lies in central Sweden — a humic brown tarn. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

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

Fishing Norder-Arslöstjärn

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Norder-Arslöstjärn, carried by roach. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.

Every session at Norder-Arslöstjärn 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.
