Torringen
Character of the water
Torringen lies in central Sweden — a 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 (29 m): a central basin ringed by drop-offs and shallow bays around the edges — varied bottom with many spots to read.

Species in Torringen
Fishing Torringen
perch, pike and trout sit at the top of the food chain in Torringen, carried by elritsa, id and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Torringen 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.
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.
