Character of the water

Stor-Kvisjön lies in central Sweden — a mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (13 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Trout is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

Fishing Stor-Kvisjön

grayling and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Stor-Kvisjön. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Stor-Kvisjön 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.
