Stormyrtjärnen
Character of the water
Stormyrtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a humic brown forest lake. The tea-stained, humic water hides the bottom within an arm's length.
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.

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