Character of the water

Stora Kåsjön 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 (32 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Pike: keep at most one over 75 cm per day.
Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Ål lives down in the cool — the deep is its home ground all year.

typically ~62 cm · can reach 120 cm

Fishing Stora Kåsjön

The species list of Stora Kåsjön runs to 5. The predators — perch and pike — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.

Every session at Stora Kåsjön 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.
