Fishing Flästasjön
Flästasjön holds 9 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and ål, roach and nors schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Flästasjön 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.
