Character of the water

Stora Vällingen lies in the south — a southern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies remote, ringed by forest and bog far from any road. Few find their way here — the water is untouched and the stock undisturbed.

Shallow throughout (max 4 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

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

Fishing Stora Vällingen

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

Whoever fishes Stora Vällingen 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.
