Bodtjärnen
Character of the water
Bodtjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern 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 (8 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Bodtjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Species in Bodtjärnen
Fishing Bodtjärnen
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Bodtjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Bodtjärnen is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
