Djuptjärn

Djuptjärn is put and take in Orsa municipality. Orsa FVOF stocks brown trout and Arctic char. Not Djuptjärn in Dorotea. The day permit names brown trout and Arctic char. We do not sell the permits — buy via the permit seller.

Species

Stocked salmonids are what you fish here. This page is Djuptjärn, not other waters in the same area that may have pike or perch as the main number.

Brown trout and Arctic char according to the seller’s product. Rainbow trout is named for Orsa’s P&T group as a whole.

With brown trout and Arctic char you fish two salmonids with different habits: brown trout cautious and often along the edges, Arctic char deeper and cooler, especially when it is warm. Both reward a discreet presentation and a thinner tippet.

Stocked fish can sit close to the bank after release and then deeper. That is typical of this kind of water.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Here: fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing. Its own day permit. Does not apply in Lintjärn. Fishing is from the bank around the tarn. Pack to the seller’s current tackle rules, not to a forum.

Lures and flies

For stocked brown trout, small spinners, spoons and simple nymphs in olive, black and orange often work when the water is stained. A streamer when fish are hunting. General species tactics, not a recipe we claim is unique to Djuptjärn.

When they bite

Stocking is decided by the manager, not by a bite calendar we copy. Morning and evening are often nicer than high sun in small forest waters. Check an open permit, ice and the latest stocking with the seller before you go.

Cool water and a recent stocking usually give the best takes; in strong sun the fish seek depth, and brown trout and Arctic char are more sensitive to heat than rainbow trout.

Getting there

Northwest in the municipality, near Skrattabborrtjärn. Not Rajastrand. Park where it is marked, not on private land. Fires only at prepared sites unless there is a fire ban.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. Quota, hours, float tube and the rules for children change. Current prices are on the permit seller’s page. Choose Djuptjärn’s own day permit, not Lintjärn’s; stick to the quota and kill quickly the brown trout or Arctic char you keep.
