Character of the water
Stora Agnsjön lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake.
The surroundings
The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.
A small but surprisingly deep pocket (27 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing permit required — Stora Agnsjön FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.
- Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
- Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.
Species in Stora Agnsjön
perch predatory fish
typically ~17 cm · can reach 47 cm
Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
bream coarse fish
typically ~21 cm · can reach 58 cm
Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
pike predatory fish
typically ~64 cm · can reach 78 cm
Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
roach coarse fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 29 cm
Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
sarv fish
typically ~12 cm · can reach 18 cm
Sarv moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.
Fishing Stora Agnsjön
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Stora Agnsjön, carried by bream, roach and sarv. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Stora Agnsjön are alike.
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.
