Big thanks to our fly fishing member Robin from Sweden that has provided the description and some pictures!


Late Summer and Early Autumn Perch Fishing
As late summer turns to early autumn, the harbors of Gotland teem with perch venturing in from the Baltic Sea to feast on Herring. During this feeding frenzy, casting a baitfish imitation can result in thrilling bites. Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping experience as you watch the fish relentlessly attack your fly.


Autumn Perch Fishing in Streams and Rivers
In mid to late autumn, Perch migrate into streams and smaller rivers, continuing their search for smaller baitfish and fry. Enjoy picturesque fishing experiences in natural settings, casting baitfish imitations to tempt the hungry fish. Remember, fishing in these streams and rivers requires a license or fishing card, which can be obtained from iFiske.se.


Spring Perch Fishing
As the chill of winter recedes, warming waters stir the perch to life. Spring presents a unique opportunity to catch perch using a variety of flies, from size 14 nymphs to huge pike flies. Witness the renewed energy of the fish as they become active once more.


Gotland's Famous Seatrout Fishing
Seatrout fishing is Gotland's claim to fame, with 80 kilometers of coastline providing ideal habitats for these prized fish. The island's long, slender shape makes it easy to find optimal fishing conditions, with most locations accessible within a 30-60 minute drive.


Autumn Seatrout Fishing
Autumn seatrout fishing in Gotland is both challenging and immensely rewarding. The fish journey from the open Baltic Sea to the island's shorelines before continuing up the streams and smaller rivers to spawn. Capitalize on this migration by casting wooly buggers, shrimp, and baitfish imitations to entice these elusive fish.


Winter Seatrout Fishing – A Fly Fisherman's Dream
Winter is prime time for fly fishing seatrout in Gotland. The fish remain close to the shorelines throughout the day, sometimes swimming in water as shallow as 30 centimeters. Focus on casting near rocks and seafloor vegetation, where seatrout feed on small gammarus and shrimp. Winter offers the best chance to land a trophy seatrout on a fly rod!


Spring Seatrout Fishing – A Test of Skill and Adaptability
Spring seatrout fishing in Gotland is unpredictable and varied, as the fish may feed on anything from gammarus to ragworms. This season tests your skills, thinking, and mentality as an angler to the max. Embrace the challenge and enjoy the thrill of outsmarting these wily fish.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
