The surroundings

Fishing Slissjön
perch, pike and zander sit at the top of the food chain in Slissjön, carried by roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Slissjön 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.
General rules of thumb for this kind of water
- In deep, oxygenated lakes the predators seek cool depth in summer, shallower in spring and autumn.
