Discover the Stockholm Archipelago: A Fisherman’s Paradise

A Unique Island Wonderland

Stockholm is home to one of the world’s largest archipelagos, boasting over 30,000 islands and endless fishing opportunities. From rugged open coastlines to sheltered bays, the diverse waters provide ideal conditions for a variety of fish species year-round.

Year-Round Fishing Adventures

  • Cold Months: Target sea trout along open coastlines.
  • Sheltered Bays: Ideal for northern pike, perch, and other species.
  • Urban Fishing: From September to May, salmon and sea trout migrate into Stockholm’s Ström, offering a unique chance to fish right in the city center. This depends on water levels in Lake Mälaren, when hatches are opened to allow water flow.

Fishing Regulations (No License Required)

If you plan to keep your catch, adhere to these size and quantity limits:

  • Sea Trout: Min. 50cm | Max. 1 wild fish (clipped adipose fin exempt)
  • Salmon: Min. 60cm
  • Pike: 45–75cm | Max. 3 per day
