Fishing Hundsjön
Hundsjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and ruffe, roach and nors schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Hundsjön 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.
