Fishing in Sweden
There are some 37 species of coarse and game fish for you to catch in Sweden; the major ones being pike, zander and perch, as well as salmon trout and grayling in fast running waters. And your kids will be mesmerised after landing the first catch of their young lives at a shimmering lake in a forest clearing. This, and more, is fishing in Sweden.
The fishing season varies because Sweden is some 2,000 kilometres long from tip to toe and has several climate zones. In the lowland, lush south the season is usually year-round off the coast and in its coastal rivers, inland rivers and lakes.
Sweden is a paradise for the angler, with the lure of giant fish, unspoiled countryside and clean, unpolluted waters. The thrill of being able to catch fish in their natural environments, and on their terms, is the fulfilment of many a visiting angler's dream in Sweden.
Are your kids hooked on fishing? Or would they like to try it out? Whichever the case, Sweden is the perfect place. One example is Älvkarleby fishing village and campground, located 140 kilometres north of Stockholm on the lower Dalälven river. It’s brimming with salmon and sea trout.
