Character of the water
Trehörningen lies in the cold north — a northern acidified forest lake. Acidification has thinned life down to the hardiest few.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Trehörningen FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Species in Trehörningen
perch predatory fish

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
Fishing Trehörningen
Trehörningen holds 2 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
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 Trehörningen are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Acidified water yields few, hardy species.
