Character of the water
Norra v s Kalmarsunds kustvatten is Bothnian coast archipelago (2‰). Brackish water where marine and freshwater species meet — fishing is driven by salinity, wind and water level rather than a lake's stratification. Wind-stacked water against a point or sound gathers baitfish.
