Seasons
“From top to toe Sweden is 2,000 kilometres long. 2,000! When it’s snowing up north, southern Sweden could be thawing.” The words are those of Sven, an angler, who goes on to explain that Skåne Province in the south can be snow-free and several degrees warm, while Lapland above the Polar Circle can have 20-30°C below zero and metre-thick ice on the lakes. And that’s in March!

“You have to remember the great climate differences when you plan a fishing holiday here in Sweden, especially if you’re going up north,” says Anna, Sven´s girlfriend. “Far up the lakes might only be open for three or four months, while in the central and southern areas they might never freeze at all.” Since the climate conditions in different parts of the country are so varied, it’s tough to offer general advice about when to come to Sweden. “For example, spinning for pike is normally very good in April down south, but up north this is the peak season for ice fishing,” says Anna. As a fishing tourist you should always take time to check when the fishing for just your species is best and where it’s best to go.
