Fishing Tullsjön
perch, pike and burbot sit at the top of the food chain in Tullsjön, carried by roach. The nutrient-rich water means plenty of baitfish — and predators that grow fat on them.
Every session at Tullsjön 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
- Nutrient-rich lakes hold plenty of baitfish but often murky water.
