Type, area, elevation and watershed come from NVE’s lake register, the species from GBIF and the card from inatur. A water in the register is not permission to fish it. Read what the card above covers, and which rules apply locally.

The fishing season

Svartvatnet lies north of the Arctic Circle, and Finnfisk counts every water there as mountain and north. The ice goes weeks later than in the lowlands, and the season closes earlier.

  • Brown trout: Peak in Jul and Aug. Good in Jun and Sep. Ice fishing in Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, Nov and Dec. Spawning in Sep and Oct, check the local rules.
  • Arctic char: Peak in Jun. Good in Jul, Aug and Sep. Ice fishing in Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Nov and Dec. Spawning in Sep and Oct, check the local rules.

Ice fishing: Fished through the ice, where the ice holds you. Read the ice fishing guide before you go out on the ice.

The months say how the fishing usually is in the zone, not whether Svartvatnet is open to fishing. Season and closed periods are set by the rights holder and by local rules. See the whole table for both zones.

GBIF record counts within 2 km of the centre point of Svartvatnet, not a population estimate and not a stocking list. Coordinates in older datasets are rounded, so a record at the outer edge of the circle may belong to the neighbouring water.

Everything here is advisory. Season, size limits, quotas and gear rules are set by the rights holder and by regulation, and should be confirmed before you fish. About the sources
