Noren
Character of the water
Noren 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 sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.
Moderately deep (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Species in Noren
Fishing Noren
perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Noren, carried by ål, bream and id. The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
Every session at Noren 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.
