Fishing in Sweden – an angling paradise!
The Swedish coastlines, rivers and its largest lakes, such as Vänern and Vättern, boast excellent salmon and trout fishing. Trout, char and grayling are plentiful in the waters northwards from central Sweden. Pike abounds throughout the country and pike-perch in the southern regions. This offers fishing enthusiasts a wide range of choices among the most popular kinds of fish without needing to compete for fishing space with other anglers. In Sweden, it’s not uncommon to have an entire stream or lake to yourself. Sweden offers excellent fishing waters, beautiful natural scenery, fabulous outdoor activities, peace and quiet, fresh air and pristine waters – in short, an angling paradise!

Fishing – a Swedish growth industry
Sweden has an enormous potential in the international fishing tourism sector. Fishing tourism is one of the Swedish tourism sector’s single most promising segments for attracting travelers to Sweden. This means that the European and American fishing tourism markets could play an even bigger role in the development of the Swedish tourism sector than it does today, especially in the development of rural areas. Travelling to and within Sweden is simple and safe, cost levels are attractive from an international standpoint and it is easy to communicate and receive assistance throughout the country.
