Tench (tinca tinca)

Tench are found in many lakes in the southern half of Sweden. Besides the lakes, the shallow bays of the Baltic hold Tench in large numbers. Tench up to about 3 kg are quite common, whereas Tench over 4 kg are rare indeed. Still, there are thousands of lakes that have not been fished for Tench yet, so there is likely lots of big fish out there - waiting to be found.
