About the fishing here
Storsjön sits in the middle of Jämtland with Frösön at its centre and Östersund along the shore, and the lake is regulated, so the water level shifts through the year. The Storsjön brown trout is its best-known fish, and there is also Arctic char, grayling and whitefish, plus pike and perch closer to land. The season is short and the water cold, so the fishing peaks in summer and early autumn.
Popular catches here include Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Arctic Char, Whitefish, European Perch and Grayling.
Northern Pike is generally most active around Apr-May, Sep-Oct. The best windows are usually dawn and dusk.
No permit is needed to fish here with handheld tackle. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
