Character of the water

Storöratjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Storöratjärnen

Storöratjärnen holds 13 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and id, roach and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Storöratjärnen 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.
