The surroundings

Moderately deep (4 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Storfisklösen

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

Every session at Storfisklösen 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.
