Mellantjärnen
Mellantjärnen is a small, tranquil forest lake tucked into the woodlands near Malingsbo, in the Söderbärke area of Dalarna, Sweden. At roughly six hectares, this classic "skogstjärn" (forest tarn) has earned a devoted following among fly anglers, who prize it as one of Sveaskog's well-managed put-and-take waters stocked with rainbow trout. What sets Mellantjärnen apart is its combination of intimate scale and serious fishing culture. Fly fishing only, one rod per permit, no boats—these rules keep the shoreline uncrowded and the atmosphere peaceful. The lake sits between neighbouring waters Lilla Djurlången and Lövtjärn, forming part of a cluster of fishing tarns in the Malingsbo-Kloten area that draw visitors from across central Sweden.
