Species in Runns vatten
ål fish
typically ~55 cm · can reach 110 cm
Ål holds the bottom even in clear water — shade and depth are its cover.
roach coarse fish
typically ~18 cm · can reach 32 cm
Roach moves carefully in the clear water — small mouthfuls, many of them.

In the clear water trout picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.
Fishing Runns vatten
Runns vatten holds 3 species, with trout at the top of the chain and ål and roach 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 Runns vatten are alike.
