The Forrest Lake

A place with calm, depth, and character

The Forrest Lake is a unique carp-fishing haven hidden in the forests near Lynge on Zealand - a place where peaceful nature and true wilderness magic meet. You will find an idyllic lake surrounded by tall trees, birdsong, and rich wildlife, creating perfect conditions for serious carp anglers and nature lovers alike.

The water holds impressive carp, and with only six exclusive swims we ensure maximum peace, space, and quality on every trip. Each swim has its own character and charm, and can be booked directly on this site.

The Forrest Lake is not just a fishing destination - it is an experience, a sanctuary, and a place where you can truly feel nature.

Swim 1

Spot 1

Swim 1 lies on the quieter end of the lake and is surrounded by tall trees that provide natural shade throughout the day. The bottom quickly drops into deeper water, making this spot ideal for anglers targeting larger carp that patrol depth. It is especially suited for precision fishing close to the tree line and along deeper channels.

Swim 2

Spot 2

Swim 2 is an open bank with plenty of room for long casts and big presentations. You get a clear view across the water, and carp often move through mid-water and upper layers here. Perfect for searching tactics and method-feeder techniques where you can cover larger zones efficiently.

Swim 3

Spot 3

Swim 3 is located in a corner of the lake where the trees almost surround the water. There is abundant natural food here, and carp often patrol very close beneath the branches. Ideal for stalking, short casts, and stealth-focused fishing. This spot rewards patience and precision.

Swim 4

Spot 4

Swim 4 is a spacious swim with access to both shallow and medium-depth water. It is perfect for longer stays, overnight sessions, and larger setups. You can fish both long range and close to the margins, giving a wide range of tactical options from popup rigs to solid bottom presentations.

Swim 5

Spot 5

Swim 5 is close to the lily-pad belts where many of the lake's biggest carp hold. Fishing here is exciting and challenging, and you need to be ready for aggressive takes and strong runs. Perfect for anglers who love structure fishing and want a real chance at truly big fish.

Swim 6

Spot 6

Swim 6 sits on the sunniest stretch of the lake. The clear light gives excellent visibility for observing fish movement, especially in spring and summer. The margins are relatively shallow, attracting carp that feed in warmer zones. A great spot for visual fishing and tactical rig placement.

Carp Fishing Care - General Rules

Always prepare an unhooking mat and wet weigh sling before landing the fish.
Keep the fish low over the mat and handle it with wet hands.
Never place carp directly on the ground or dry surfaces.
Keep time out of water to an absolute minimum during weighing and photos.
Use fish-safe antiseptic on hook wounds when needed before release.
Release fish calmly at the water edge and support it until it swims away strongly.
Respect the lake, other anglers, and nature - always leave your swim clean.
