Character of the water

Rengårdstjärnen lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 9 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

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.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Rengårdstjärnen FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

Fishing Rengårdstjärnen

perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Rengårdstjärnen, carried by roach and whitefish. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Rengårdstjärnen 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.
