What you can catch
Sea Trout
The primary focus of coastal wading trips, specifically targeting "Baltic Silver" in peak condition. This fish is a true dream for many anglers, and the southern coast offers a genuine chance at trophy-sized specimens capable of wreaking absolute havoc on your gear. The best shoreline action occurs during the winter and spring seasons, with these silver powerhouses focusing their feeding around rugged, rocky structures.
Season
Pike
A frequent target in both the Baltic archipelago and inland lakes around Olofström. On lake expeditions, this predator is the primary objective of the trip. Meanwhile, during coastal wading trips, it serves as an exciting and highly entertaining bycatch that always brings a massive dose of fun to the action.
Season
Zander
Targeted primarily through high-tech vertical fishing methods on regional lakes. It feeds incredibly well under the cover of darkness, and the absolute biggest trophy-sized specimens are tracked and caught using live sonar technology.
Season
Perch
Active in Swedish lakes and pursued using casting or "drop-shot" techniques. They are exceptionally delicious and deliver an absolute blast of fun, especially when the action is fast and non-stop. In Swedish waters, landing a premium 40cm-plus specimen is no rarity.
Season
Rainbow Trout
The exclusive species for "Put-and-Take" forest lake tours. Targeting them with fly or spinning gear in the quiet atmosphere of a secluded forest lake is pure pleasure and brings a massive dose of joy. The lake is heavily stocked and absolutely bursting with action. To make the experience even better, your guide has a special, secret recipe for grilling this species right by the water and won't hesitate to prepare a delicious fresh meal for you.
Season
Whitefish
A welcome bycatch when targeting sea trout from the shoreline. They readily attack fly patterns, providing a highly interesting and exciting twist to your coastal fishing session.
Belone
Targeted exclusively during the spring and summer seasons. It is a fantastic table fish that attacks lures with absolute aggression and in massive numbers. Boasting a highly distinct, prehistoric appearance, it is famously known among local anglers as the "Baltic Marlin."
Advanced Techniques & The High-Tech Hunt
Expeditions heavily utilize the latest live-view echo sounder solutions (such as Garmin Live Sonar and Lowrance systems) for precise vertical "sharpshooting" and targeted casting. The focus is on connecting modern electronics with refined angling skills, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience on the water. Whether mastering the use of hand-tied flies for coastal sea trout or executing perfectly timed vertical drops for deep-water zander, the goal is to understand the mechanics of the catch rather than relying on luck. Specialized evening and night pelagic sessions are also conducted for the most elusive predators.
Professional Photography & Fish Care
Every successful catch is documented with professional-grade photography. High-quality trophy portraits are taken to ensure the memory is preserved perfectly, avoiding out-of-focus or poorly composed snapshots. This process is strictly balanced with exceptional fish care, ensuring that every specimen is handled safely and returned to the water in optimal condition to preserve the native predator fish populations.
