Hamptjärn

Hamptjärn is put and take in Örnsköldsvik municipality. SFK Storfiskarna stocks rainbow trout and Arctic char. You buy a special permit for this water — an area permit for surrounding lakes is not enough. Not Hamptjärn in Vännäs, Sunnansjö or Vallbyån.

Species

The main species is stocked rainbow trout. Rainbow trout and Arctic char are stocked several times a year. It is the stocked salmonids you fish here, not pike in a natural water.

Rainbow trout in a bounded lake often sit close to the bank after stocking and then spread toward deeper parts.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

The methods we filter on are fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing. Read current tackle rules with the permit seller before you pack. Boat engines are often banned in this kind of water — follow the seller, not a forum.

Lures and flies

Small spoons and spinners in silver, white or orange are a common start where spin is allowed. On fly: nymph, pupa and a simple streamer. Scented baits can be banned — that is with the seller. The tips are general for stocked salmonids.

When they bite

Stocked salmonids are liveliest in cool water and just after a fill. Dawn and dusk often beat high sun. When the club last stocked is with the permit seller.

Getting there

Tarn in Sund/Domsjö. Drive toward Hamptjärnsvägen, not toward Själevad where the club’s Svarttjärn sits. The map pin points at the named water, not at the town. Park where it is marked.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. The permit is personal. Quota, season and the child rule change. Take the confirmation digitally or printed.
