Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Species in Stensjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~22 cm · can reach 45 cm
Perch moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
bream coarse fish
typically ~38 cm · can reach 65 cm
Bream lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Stensjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Stensjön, carried by bream. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Stensjön 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.
