Character of the water

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (7 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Lilla Stop-Olle

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Lilla Stop-Olle, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Lilla Stop-Olle 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

Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
