Character of the water
Stuttjärnen lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.
Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Stuttjärnen
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Stuttjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Stuttjärnen 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.
