Södra Nordtjärnen
Character of the water
Södra Nordtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
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 Södra Nordtjärnen
Södra Nordtjärnen holds 3 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Södra Nordtjärnen are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
