Character of the water

Moderately deep (10 m) — shallow bays, the odd reef and a deeper channel through the middle.

Fishing Böloxen
perch sit at the top of the food chain in Böloxen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Böloxen 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.
