Fishing Trollsjön
Trollsjön holds 5 species, with perch and pike at the top of the chain and bream, löja and roach schooling beneath them. The modest depth keeps most of the fishing within reach of the bank.
Every session at Trollsjön 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.
