Öcketjärn

Öcketjärn is a small forest lake tucked into the vast Lögdö Wild area in Västernorrland, Sweden — a quiet destination for anglers seeking wild brown trout among the birches and pines. Part of the SCA-managed wilderness that spans approximately 100,000 hectares, this tjärn (as Swedes call these intimate forest ponds) offers a genuine back-to-nature fishing experience far from the crowds. Unlike the stocked Put & Take lakes in the Lögdö Wild system, Öcketjärn belongs to the category of natural waters where wild fish stocks thrive. Visitors report catching brown trout, pike, and perch in its calm waters, and a wind shelter stands ready for those who want to stay a while regardless of the Swedish weather.
