Fishing in Sweden

Sweden is a top tourist destination in Europe, and there’s a lot more to it than ABBA, Ikea, chocolate, and watches! It offers visitors incredible natural beauty, with 29 national parks and the incredible Northern Lights in the winter. There’s a rich history, which can be seen all over, from the palaces and castles to the medieval towns.

Yet the country is getting more and more popular with anglers because of its fishing opportunities. With over 100,000 lakes and a coastline nearly 2,000 miles long, fishing in Sweden is varied and a lot of fun for anglers.

Where to Go

There are many fishing hot spots to choose from in Sweden, depending on the time of year and what you want to catch. You can choose from a range of lakes, from the huge Lake Mälaren near Stockholm, to ones further south, such as Lake Mien, Lake Asnen, and Lake Tiken. You also have top Salmon and Brown Trout fisheries in the rivers Mörrumså, Torne, Lanio, and the Emån. Fishing in the Baltic Sea will also produce some great fish. This sea has a low salinity, which creates a perfect mix of freshwater and saltwater fishing and higher numbers of Perch and Pike.

What to Catch

There are over 140 species of fish found in the many different bodies of water in Sweden. Each body of water has its main superstar, but in general, the main species you’ll want to target are Pike, Perch, Pike Perch (Zander), and Baltic Salmon. The Pike fishing here is world-renowned, with some catches reaching up to 20 kg (45 lb).

The North Sea offers Garfish, Pollock, Cod, and Mackerel, compared to the Baltic Sea where you can fish for Pike, Cod, Salmon, Perch, and Seatrout.

When to Go

There’s something to catch throughout the year in Sweden. You’ll usually be able to find large numbers of your targeted species one month, but larger sized fish in smaller quantities another month.

If you’re fishing off the coast, book a trip in the spring and the autumn. The fish are likely to be closer to the shore then. However, you’ll be able to catch something in the Baltic Sea all year long.

The Baltic Salmon season opens in the summer. Perch can be caught all year round. However, you’ll have the most luck fishing for medium sized Perch in the autumn. Pike has its peak in the summer, although larger Pike can be found in smaller numbers in the spring.

During the winter, you’ll be able to go ice fishing. This starts earlier the further north you are. You’ll be able to target Pike, Arctic Char, Perch, Rainbow Trout, Burbot, Grayling, and Whitefish. Wrap up warm and bring extra layers. This can be fun for the whole family, even if you’ve never fished before.

What to Bring

The majority of captains will provide you with rods, reels, lures, bait, and a fishing license for the day. They’ll usually provide some form of snacks and drinks, usually buns and coffee, especially in the winter.

You should wear weather appropriate clothing for the trip. In the winter, this includes thermal underclothing with a waterproof outer layer and warm boots. Bringing a bag with extra clothes is always a good idea.    

The majority of captains practice catch and release, and even when the catch is legal will advise you to release it. Ask your captain what their policy is before your trip, so you know whether to bring a cooler along.

Book a trip to Sweden for the adventure you never knew you needed, while surrounded by nature and catching big fish. Fishing in Sweden is an unforgettable experience!

What anglers said about fishing in Sweden

The heat (high 20s) was against us, the fish not biting in the way they normally would, so in hot years, June might not be the best time.

Be prepared for a variety of weather. We had rain jackets that we used to layer and keep warm in the morning, but by the afternoon, we were down to T-shirtโ€™s and tank tops.

Overall fun trip. Lars put me on Pike and Perch within the first couple of casts and throughout the morning kept reeling them in. Lunch was fantastic at an old Viking Village, proceeded by more fishing. The afternoon fishing slowed down, but Lars made sure we changed tactics and spots regularly until we found them again. Overall fun experience would book again.

Tomas was an excellent captain. He worked tirelessly to make sure we were having a great time and catching fish. Being two traveling females was not a problem on this trip. Tomas made us feel comfortable and at ease in his company. We highly recommend his guide service!!!

At the Beginning oft the Tour we started by driving out the port with his very own boat. As we arrived at the first fishing location Thomas started explaining the basics and answered every questions about fishing and himself. After 5 destinations we ended up catching 64 porch and 1pike. It was fun for every one, especially for my son who had his first fishing experience. I would totally recommend this trip to everyone who wants to catch a lot of fish ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽฃ.

Lars did his utmost to make our trip one to remember, and for us to catch fish. The very hot weather made this a lot harder to achieve, but at least one of us got a mid-sized pike and two perch (all were put back). Tack.
