Fishing Nappträsket
The species list of Nappträsket runs to 2. The predators — perch — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.
Every session at Nappträsket 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.
