Fishing in Åland

Fishing in Åland

Åland is an island, completely surrounded by the sea in all directions and it has everything for keen fishermen - from open seas to calm bays and lakes. Pikes that lurk in the rushes, clever sea trout that bite only when the wind and water temperatures are right - they are all waiting for you! Our good contacts with fishing guides in Åland ensure that you will have the best hints of the best places and times to catch fish. Tell us what type of fish you are interested in and we will book you a fishing package at the right place and in the right season!


Fishing sea trout at its best
In March-April, when the ice has melted the sea trout are really eager to bite! Imagine the feeling when a silver-sided sea trout weighing 5-6 kilos swallows your spoon lure! Last year, the biggest trout were caught in the waters south-west of Eckerö and up to Marsund. Book a fishing package in the spring and maybe you will be lucky enough to catch a silver-sided torpedo!
