Fishing Slåttestjärnen
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Slåttestjärnen, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Slåttestjärnen is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
