Character of the water
Tresticketjärn lies in the south — a southern nutrient-rich lowland lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

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

Species in Tresticketjärn
perch predatory fish
typically ~13 cm · can reach 46 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps perch moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
ål fish
typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm
Down on the bottom ål sifts the soft ground — patience beats speed here.
pike predatory fish
typically ~81 cm · can reach 88 cm
Pike hunts by feel more than sight in the stained water — short, hard strikes close to the bait.
roach coarse fish
typically ~15 cm · can reach 23 cm
The nutrient-rich water keeps roach moving constantly between the feeding grounds.
Fishing Tresticketjärn
Tresticketjärn holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ål and roach schooling beneath them. 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 Tresticketjärn are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
