Fishing Kulltjärnarna
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Kulltjärnarna, carried by roach and ruffe. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Whoever fishes Kulltjärnarna 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.
