Fishing Sävtjärnarna
perch and pike sit at the top of the food chain in Sävtjärnarna, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
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 Sävtjärnarna are alike.
