Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

Fishing Stengöl
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Stengöl, carried by ål, ruffe and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Stengöl regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
