A small but surprisingly deep pocket (13 m) with steep drops straight down from shore — the bottom falls away fast.

perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Kacklesjön, carried by roach. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.
Whoever fishes Kacklesjön 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.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
