Bream holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.

Pike is a sight-hunter here — the clear water means long follows before the take.
burbot bottom fish

Here roach lives on the small stuff — and rewards those who fish small and fine.
Fishing Högsjön
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Högsjön, carried by bream and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Högsjön are alike.
