Character of the water

Stora Mossagylet lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic stratified lake. In summer a thermocline settles around 6 m and splits the lake into two worlds.

The surroundings

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

Moderately deep (9 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Stora Mossagylet

perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Stora Mossagylet, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.

Every session at Stora Mossagylet 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.
