Character of the water

Stora Neten lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep 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.

Large and deep (57 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Stora Neten 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 Neten

perch predatory fish

typically ~17 cm · can reach 44 cm

Here perch lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

pike predatory fish

typically ~60 cm · can reach 76 cm

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.

roach coarse fish

typically ~19 cm · can reach 31 cm

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.

nors fish

typically ~10 cm · can reach 12 cm

Nors holds in the open water column where light and temperature set the day.

whitefish whitefish

typically ~43 cm · can reach 56 cm

Whitefish cruises the open water — the depth it picks follows the light through the day.

sutare fish

typically ~24 cm · can reach 64 cm

Sutare holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Fishing Stora Neten

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

Whoever fishes Stora Neten regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.

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.
