Fishing Ånnsjön
The species list of Ånnsjön runs to 4. The predators — trout and Arctic char — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size every bay becomes its own fishery.
Every session at Ånnsjön is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
