# Fishing spots near Trondheim > Lakes near Trondheim S that have a fishing-card offer nearby, with distance, travel time by public transport, a link to the offer and the species recorded. Plus the rules in Bymarka and at Jonsvatnet. Source: https://finnfisk.no/en/fiskeplasser-naer-trondheim Language: en Alternate: https://finnfisk.no/fiskeplasser-naer-trondheim (nb-NO) --- [All fishing spots](https://finnfisk.no/en/fiskeplasser) Near the city Updated 6 October 2026 The table below has 25 lakes within 20 km of Trondheim S in a straight line, each with a fishing-card offer on inatur nearby. For 7 of them the card nearby does not cover the lake, and the table says so. The nearest of the others are Lianvatnet, Kobberdammen and Haukvatnet. By public transport the trips there take 32, 41 and 37 minutes on a Saturday morning, in that order. TOFA also sells cards for lakes that are not in the table. Among them are Theisendammen, Baklidammen, Kyvatnet, Svarttjønna and Nydammen, and each of them is nearer the station than any lake in the table. Vintervatnet within 20 km also has a fishing-card offer nearby, but it is closed to fishing and is not in the table. ## Lakes and fishing cards Nearest lake first, and the distance is a straight line from Trondheim S. The table has the lakes with a fishing-card offer on inatur within 2.5 km. The Fishing card column links the offer that lies nearest the lake, but the card there does not always cover the lake. So read what the card covers, and check that it covers the lake before you buy. Where a source shows that the card does not cover the lake, the column says so. Where a source shows that another card covers it, the column links that card. Where the lake lies inside the area that another card has on inatur’s map, the column links that card. Check that it covers the lake there too.

Vintervatnet is the drinking water source for Skistua, and TOFA, which manages the fishing in Bymarka, writes that fishing is forbidden there for that reason. [See the source](https://tofa.no/innlandsfiske/bymarka-og-leinstrandsmarka/13-vintervatnet/) The species are GBIF records within 2 km of the centre of the lake. They say the species has been seen there, not how much fish there is, and not that you may fish for it. ### More lakes with the TOFA card Trondheim og Omland Fiskeadministrasjon, TOFA, also sells cards for lakes that are not in the table. The list below has 5 of them, and each is nearer Trondheim S than any lake in the table. TOFA names each of them on its own site. Finnfisk has no page and no species list for these lakes, so they are not in the table. #### Theisendammen [Trondheim](https://finnfisk.no/en/fiske/trondheim), 3.2 km from Trondheim S in a straight line 31 min, 1 change.

Timetables change, so check the trip in Entur before you go. ## What to know in Trondheim - Trondheim og Omland Fiskeadministrasjon, TOFA, lists 68 lakes and rivers on its pages: 30 in Bymarka and Leinstrandmarka, 28 in the Jonsvatnet area and 10 in Malvikmarka. In one of them, Vintervatnet, fishing is forbidden. Blomstertjønna by Skistua is the children’s water: only children under 16 may fish there, and they fish free. The cards for the rest are on inatur. - In Bymarka and Leinstrandmarka you may fish only with a rod from the shore. The exception is Stor-Leirsjøen, where you may also fish from a boat or a float tube. - Lianvatnet, Haukvatnet and Kobberdammen have their own rules. You may fish there from 1 May to 31 October, with one rod, and kill at most 3 trout per day. ## Curated spots A curated spot has a guide of its own, with zones, species, gear and rules. No curated spot is within 20 km. The nearest is Selbusjøen (Selbu), 28.8 km from Trondheim S in a straight line. [Read the guide](https://finnfisk.no/en/fiskeplass/selbusjoen) ## How to buy a fishing card 1. Open the link in the Fishing card column. It goes to the offer on inatur. 2. Read who sells the card, and which lakes it covers. The offer page shows the seller, and usually the rules too. 3. Choose the type of card and pay. 4. Carry the card when you fish. An inspector can ask to see it. Season, size limits, quotas and gear are set by the rights holder, and they are not given here. Ask the seller when the offer page does not answer. ## About the travel times The time is the fastest trip leaving in that window, from the first departure to the arrival. A trip that ends with more than 45 minutes on foot shows as no good public transport connection. The trip goes to the centre point NVE gives for the lake, the same point the distance is measured to. The centre of a large lake can be far from any path, and then Entur often finds no trip there. Another day or time can give another trip. The Plan the trip links open the Entur trip search from Trondheim S to the lake, from the moment you open them. Contains data under the [Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD)](https://data.norge.no/nlod/no/2.0) made available by [Entur AS](https://entur.no). Finnfisk picked one trip per lake and rounded the times to whole minutes. ## Common questions ### Do I need a fishing card in Bymarka? - Yes, from the age of 18. Children under 18 need no card for TOFA’s inland fishing, but they must follow the same fishing and access rules. Carry the card when you fish, and show it to the police or an inspector who asks. ### Can I fish in Jonsvatnet? - Yes, with TOFA’s card for the Jonsvatnet area, with a rod from the shore or from a rowing boat. Jonsvatnet is Trondheim’s drinking water, so swimming is forbidden, and tents are forbidden closer than 100 metres to the lake. You may not fish with bait you brought, dead or alive.
