Stor-Sugnstjärn

Character of the water

Stor-Sugnstjärn 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.

Shallow throughout (max 2 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

Fishing Stor-Sugnstjärn

Stor-Sugnstjärn holds 5 species, with perch, pike and grayling at the top of the chain. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.

Every session at Stor-Sugnstjärn 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.
