The country's great variety of fish and abundance of good fishing waters have led to increasing numbers of anglers visiting Sweden.
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 - and these fish can be king-size!

Sweden offers the angler a wide-variety of fishing venues. For example bait fish for roach and bream in one of the country's countless lakes, fly-fish and spin for salmon, trout and grayling in any number of many rushing rivers. You can also spin for pike and perch in the Baltic archipelagos, or jig for char in the mountain waters of Lapland in the north.

Sweden provides the perfect setting for exciting year-round angling. Spanning some 2,000-km from north to south, the country has widely differing climates.

Fishing for sea trout starts as early as January and reaches its peak in April, when the pike fishing can also be excellent. In May, the large salmon start to migrate up Mörrumsån River in southern Sweden, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, and at the same time the trolling in the south is at its most exciting, when salmon weighing 20 kg or more are most likely to be caught.

Ice fishing with jigging gear is not just an exotic method of fishing - catches can be more than rewarding.

Whatever your favourite catch or whichever type of fishing you prefer, you're sure to find an angler's luck in Sweden!
