Please take care to ensure that you are fishing in permitted waters and have the right licences. Respect local regulations, such as the permitted number of fish, minimum measurements and salmon gill tags.

Common fishes you have a chance to catch:

Salmon

The salmon changes colour throughout the year. It’s plain early in the season and the male develops so called nuptial colours for spawning in late summer/autumn, changing to a golden brown colour.

Pike

The pike is a long and thin bodied fish with its fins far back and a flat, broad snout. It is an apex predator, whose only natural enemies are other, larger pikes. A pike can eat a fish up to half its own size.

Perch

The perch is one of the most common fish in Swedish waters and consequently one of the most popular species amongst fishing enthusiasts. Easily recognisable by the vertical bars across its body, as well as by the red fins and the two dorsal fins, with a spiky one at the front.

Trout

The trout is a streamlined salmonid fish whose appearance varies a lot as a result of its surrounding environment. This has created a traditional distinction between three types of the same species of trout – sea-run trout, lake-dwelling trout and riverine trout.

Arctic char

There are several species of arctic char in Sweden. They differ from other salmonid fish with their small scales, light spots on a silvery background and the spectacular red underside they develop during spawning in autumn.

Grayling

The grayling is easily recognisable by its large, tall dorsal fin, which like its tail fin has blue-grey and purple nuances. Its body varies in colour from silvery grey to a dark bronze lustre.
