Character of the water
Pojktjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern clear oligotrophic forest 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 (5 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Pojktjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~140 kr · annual permit ~700 kr.
- Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Trout is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Pojktjärnen
Pojktjärnen holds 1 species, with trout at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Pojktjärnen 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.
