Welcome to Storsjöns FVO and SFK Pelikanen!
We are located at Storsjön, which is located about 10 kilometers south of Borås and offers a fantastic wilderness feeling. There you can fish in our 19 lakes and the Bål River. You can also hike the trail around Storsjön. Discover the beautiful nature and see traces of the old cultural landscape.
Storsjön is a created lake. In order to better control the water supply, Rydboholmsbolaget AB decided to build a water reservoir in 1905. The work of blowing up a tunnel was finished in 1909 and Storsjön was full of water on January 20, 1910. By then the level had been raised by 10 meters. An entire landscape of farms and agriculture was now under the surface and has given names to several bays. Storsjön is about 150 hectares and contains more than 8 million m3 of water. Has an average depth of about 5.8m and the deepest is 22.5m. Due to the regulation in the lake, there is not much shore vegetation. In the lake there are perch, bream, pike, zander, roach and eel. The pike is protected 1/5 to 15/6 min. dimensions are 45 cm. Birdlife is also part of Storsjön. Great tern, great tern, tern, woodcock and drill tern nest there every year and sometimes we also have a couple of ospreys.
The area also includes Abborratjärn, Abborrasjön, Björsjön, Duvesjön, Furesjön, Galtatjärn, Gäddesjö, Kroksjön, Lilla Älsjön, Lomsjö, Madtjärn, Orrleketjärn, Rönnesjö, Skallasjön, Skallatjärn, Stora Älsjön, Storsjön, Vänesjön and Ängsjön.
