Character of the water
Stensjön lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

pike predatory fish
typically ~78 cm · can reach 78 cm
In the clear water pike picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
roach coarse fish
typically ~21 cm · can reach 25 cm

Fishing Stensjön
Stensjön holds 4 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and roach and sarv schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Stensjön 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.
