Character of the water

The surroundings

Moderately deep (11 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Aspen
Aspen is a water for those who like . The brown, humic water keeps visibility short — the fishing is more about vibration than sight.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Aspen are alike.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- Brown, humic water dampens the light — fishing can be good even in the middle of the day.
