Trindtjärnen lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic forest lake.
The surroundings

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Trindtjärnen
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Trindtjärnen, carried by ål, elritsa and roach. 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 Trindtjärnen are alike.
