Character of the water

Ören lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 15 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Large and deep (36 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.

Fishing Ören

perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Ören, carried by bream, ruffe and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Ören is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

Stratified, oxygen-poor lakes push the fish up above the thermocline in summer.
