Fishing Gransjön
The species list of Gransjön runs to 2. The predators — trout and Arctic char — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.
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 Gransjön are alike.
