Storesjöns FVO

Pike fishing in Lake Storesjön is excellent and big pike can be caught relatively easy. The biggest known pike from the lake weighed an impressive 15 kilos! During the summer of 2009, a single sport fisherman succeeded with the remarkable catch of two pike of 11 kilos each. Perch are abundant in the lake and perch around half a kilo are ordinary. Under the right conditions, fishing can be really good.

Signal crayfish are fairly common in the lake, but fishing for these is restricted to land owners. The lake also has a sparse population of brown trout. The most used fishing methods are trolling and jigging, but angling, spin fishing and ice angling works out well. There are possibilities to fish either from a boat or from off the shore. 

Lake Storesjön is located in the early stretches of River Emån, 1 km north from Village Bodafors. The 1046-acre lake is rather nutrient-poor and has a maximum depth of 14,5 meters. Its shores are mostly flat and rocky with sparse vegetation. Storesjön serves as water supply for the village of Bodafors. Black throated diver and osprey are frequently seen in the lake.
