Fishing Staffansbosjön
perch sit at the top of the food chain in Staffansbosjön, carried by björkna, ruffe and roach. The clearer water makes the fish wary — and rewards a careful presentation.
Every session at Staffansbosjön 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.
