FISHING FOR ALL TASTES
Södra Bohuslän offers a unique Fjord region with lots of islands, deep banks, strong currents and large sections of shallow waters. Overall, the fjord area is extremely productive and offers very good conditions for fishing.
Many people travel here to experience sea trout fishing close to the shore. And during summer, large shoals of mackerel swim into the fjords where they can be caught from land and from boats. Out at sea, deep sea-fishing offers everything from cod and pollock to ling and other exciting deep sea species. There are also several lakes offering excellent fishing for pike, perch and zander.

The archipelago environment of the fjords offers unrivalled fish conditions with everything from strong tidal currents to shallow sand bays and cliffs lashed by waves. April 1 marks the premiere for sea trout fishing and is the start of many people’s fishing season. Sea trout fishing in shallow waters with sporadic vegetation is an extraordinary experience. When summer begins, and the water warms up in June, steep cliffs and capes offer the best spots for trout fishing. The mackerel also arrives, chasing sand eel and other small fish along cliffs and jetties. If you don’t have a boat, your best bet is hiring a guide or joining a fishing tour. It’s also possible to fish for mackerel and trout straight from land.
DO YOU NEED ACCOMMODATION?
There are many types of accommodation a short walk from fishing spots. Many keen fishers stay at Hotell Solliden, Salt & Sill, Stenungsbaden Yacht Club, Lådfabriken and Hotell Varvet.
