Fishing Noren
Noren holds 12 species, with perch, pike and zander at the top of the chain and bream, ruffe and löja schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
The fishing here follows the water's own rhythm: dawn and dusk have their windows, fronts close and open them, and the season moves the fish. No two sessions at Noren are alike.
