Töresjö

Character of the water

Töresjö lies in the south — a southern clear oligotrophic deep lake. The water is crystal-clear and the fish skittish in the sharp light.

The surroundings

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

A small but surprisingly deep pocket (30 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

Permits & rules

Fishing permit required — Töresjö FVOF. Day permit ~100 kr · annual permit ~500 kr.

• Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

Fishing Töresjö

Töresjö holds 2 species, with perch at the top of the chain and id schooling beneath them. The depth gives the water two storeys — and the fish move between them with the season.

Whoever fishes Töresjö 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

• Clear water makes fish light-shy — dawn, dusk and night are usually best.
• In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
