Sjnjuvtjudisjávrásj

Character of the water

Sjnjuvtjudisjávrásj lies in the cold north — a northern acidified forest lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light. 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Sjnjuvtjudisjávrásj

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Sjnjuvtjudisjávrásj. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Sjnjuvtjudisjávrásj 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

• Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
• Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
