Stråken, Glacial lake in Jönköpings län, Sweden.

The lake extends for 25 kilometers with varying widths between 100 and 500 meters, reaching depths of 38 meters at its deepest points.

The lake formed through glacial processes during the last ice age, creating deep fractures that shaped its current geological structure.

Local fishing communities maintain traditions through the Stråkens FVOF association, which manages fishing activities and environmental preservation efforts.

Fishing permits are required for persons over 15 years old and can be obtained through local vendors, websites, or text message systems.

The lake contains eight distinct fish species including vendace, which specifically breeds in the deepest sections during autumn months.
