Character of the water
Stormyrtjärnen 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 (6 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

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