Zwarte Meer is a lake situated in the Netherlands, positioned at the boundary between the provinces of Overijssel and Flevoland. This shallow, expansive water body is well known among Dutch anglers as a productive pike fishery, and it also holds healthy populations of other classic Dutch freshwater species. The lake's relatively flat, open character is typical of the reclaimed polder landscape of this region, and its shallow, nutrient-rich waters support abundant aquatic vegetation and a thriving food web that sustains a diverse range of fish.
