Fishing Sjultjärnen
Sjultjärnen holds 4 species, with perch, grayling and trout at the top of the chain and regnbåge schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Whoever fishes Sjultjärnen 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.
