\n Tips on some fishing waters <\/h3>\n
\n

Thanks to the diversity of fish species and the environment they live in, fishing also differs. Depending on what fish you want to catch or what experience you are looking for, Sm\u00e5land offers a wide range of different fishing methods. Rapid rivers and streams with rocky bottoms are perfect for fly fishing. Large, deep lakes where the fish lurk in the depths and where trolling by boat is the best method. Mirror-like forest lakes that provide a quiet moment in the stressful life, perfect for taking out a casting rod or fishing. For those who want to enjoy the salty sea breeze and the more rolling waves, the archipelago and sea fishing are suitable.<\/p>\n

Stora Hammarsj\u00f6n<\/a>‘s fishing area consists of 400 hectares of water. Here, stocked trout and rainbow trout swim together with perch and pike. You can choose a new fishing lake every day and decide what catch you want. Or how about fishing for roach and bream in Hulingen, tench and eel in Gn\u00f6tteln or roach and carp in \u00c5ngleg\u00f6l?<\/p>\n

Lake \u00c5snen<\/a> has what we call a lake archipelago with about 1000 islands and a unique coastline. The total coastline, islands included, is 740 kilometers long, so there is lots to discover. The lake is shallow with just three meter average depth, and the old pike wait patiently for their baits, hidden in the reeds. Pike fishing is especially good here.<\/p>\n

Lake V\u00e4ttern<\/a> is Sweden’s second largest lake, with crystal clear water and many species of fish. What about 31 species of fish, a visibility depth of 17 meters and 516 km of shore where high cliffs in many places provide unbeatable views of the lake? The fact that the fishing is also world-class for several species such as char, lake salmon and pike doesn’t make matters any worse.<\/p>\n
