Östtjärn

Fishing in Östtjärn is organized by Allsta Byamän. As early as 1963, Östtjärn was treated with rotenone in order to create a new fishing water with noble fish. Fish stocking has been discontinued for 25 years, but was resumed again in 2009. Östtjärn is leased by Tuna Östra FVO. Östtjärn is located just south of Sundsvall. The distance from the city center by car is about 12 km and is an excellent alternative to fishing around Sundsvall. There are also hiking trails and ski trails from Sidjön's recreational area that connect to the pond. The size is 29 ha and has a depth of 29 meters, so there are good conditions for char and brown trout. Since there is a natural self-rejuvenation of both brown trout and char, there are fish up to 4-5 kg to catch. In recent years, Allsta Byamän has stocked 2-year-old brown trout, and created better spawning grounds for brown trout. Fishing is permitted between October 1 and April 31. During the time before the ice sets in, fishing from boats and float rings is permitted, the rest of the time ice fishing applies.
