Character of the water

Vallorjauratjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Vallorjauratjärnen

trout and Arctic char sit at the top of the food chain in Vallorjauratjärnen. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Whoever fishes Vallorjauratjärnen 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.
