Overview
Join me for an unforgettable fishing trip, trolling* for Vänern’s legendary big fishes.
With its vast waters and rich fish stocks, Vänern is a true angler’s paradise. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a beginner, I’ll guide you through the best fishing spots, using top-quality gear and expert techniques to maximize your chances of a big catch. Enjoy the thrill of the chase, the beauty of the open water, and the excitement of reeling in a trophy-sized fish.
*Trolling is a fishing method where bait is pulled through the water behind a moving boat. Using multiple rods, trolling covers a larger area of the lake, increasing the chances of catching big fish. It’s an exciting yet relaxing way to fish, where you wait for the fish to strike while enjoying the natural beauty of the lake.
Bring your own lunch, snacks, and coffee.
Perfect for both beginners and experienced anglers, this tour combines adventure, learning, and the chance to land the catch of a lifetime.

What To Expect
I’ll pick you up at Ekenäs Guest Harbor and we’ll set off together through the beautiful Lurö archipelago to your perfect fishing spot. Once there, we’ll start trolling for pike, trout, or salmon. Please let me know in advance which species you’d like to target, so we can make the most of your day on the water.
We’ll set out our baits, fishing both shallow with planer boards and deep with downriggers, using a maximum of 10 rods. If you’re an experienced angler, you can join in and I’ll walk you through the techniques.
As we fish, you’ll stay warm and comfortable inside the cabin, enjoying breathtaking views of the lake. The anticipation builds as we wait for a strike. When it happens, we head outside to reel in your catch!
6 hours of fishing time and an estimated 1 hour of boat transport
