Fodertjärnen
Character of the water
Fodertjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic 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.
Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Species in Fodertjärnen
Fishing Fodertjärnen
perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Fodertjärnen, carried by regnbåge. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Fodertjärnen are alike.
