Fishing Funäsdalssjön

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Funäsdalssjön, carried by elritsa, roach and whitefish. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Every session at Funäsdalssjön 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.
