Fishing Mörekullan

perch, pike and grayling sit at the top of the food chain in Mörekullan, carried by ål, roach and whitefish. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.

Every session at Mörekullan is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.

General rules of thumb for this kind of water

  • Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
