Fishing areas and camps
A fishing camp gathers several put-and-take waters in one place, often with both easy rainbow lakes, more demanding special waters and running stretches for fly fishing. Many also have lodging, which makes them perfect for a weekend or a whole fishing holiday. Here we gather guides to some of Sweden’s best-known areas.
Guides to the areas
- Hökensås Sportfiske – a classic area in Västergötland with around thirty lakes and stream fishing in Tidan at Baltak.
- Harasjömåla Fiskecamp – a whole system of lakes in Blekinge, with put and take, special waters and the built Flugströmmen.
More areas are added as we go.
Why camps work well
Fishing camps are often the simplest way to get started or to fish a whole weekend. They have easy put-and-take lakes with a high chance of a catch, parking close to the water and lodging on site. At the same time there are usually more demanding waters for anyone who wants to develop, so the area grows with you. If you are new, read the beginner’s guide and how fishing permits work before you go.
