Stor-Långtjärnen

Character of the water

Stor-Långtjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

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

Fishing Stor-Långtjärnen

Stor-Långtjärnen holds 5 species, with perch, pike and trout at the top of the chain and whitefish schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Whoever fishes Stor-Långtjärnen 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.
