Stor-Treen

Character of the water

Stor-Treen lies in central Sweden — a clear oligotrophic deep lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Large and deep (21 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Fishing Stor-Treen

perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Stor-Treen, carried by regnbåge. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Stor-Treen 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.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

• In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
