Fishing Bredåsjön

The species list of Bredåsjön runs to 1. The predators — perch — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size every bay becomes its own fishery.

Whoever fishes Bredåsjön regularly builds something of their own: a log of what took, where and when. That's how the water gives up its patterns — cast by cast, never all at once.
