Character of the water

Stekpotten lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake sits close to town with a road right up to it — easy to reach, but hard-fished and exposed to nutrient runoff from the buildings and fields all around.

Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing permit required — Stekpotten FVOF. Day permit ~60 kr · annual permit ~300 kr.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

ruffe perch family

Fishing Stekpotten

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

Every session at Stekpotten 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.
