Stora Värhuvudsjön

Character of the water

Stora Värhuvudsjön 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.

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (14 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Fishing Stora Värhuvudsjön

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

Whoever fishes Stora Värhuvudsjön 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.
