Fishing Noren
Noren holds 7 species, with perch, pike and burbot at the top of the chain and ål, roach and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Noren 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.
