Ozero Verkhnyaya Shoba Fishing in Republic of Karelia

A grey, even sky over the water, with a faint ENE drift and the barometer holding steady. Fish at Ozero Verkhnyaya Shoba should hold close to reed fringes and open pockets. The strongest window is the evening. Fish tidy and take what the day gives. Biting air and slow fish: small baits, long pauses.
