ATTRACTIONS
Relaxing trawler charter for salmon or wreck fishing for cod at sea. When spinning and fly-fishing you can catch both sea trout and pike on the long and varied coast. The biggest salmon, sea trout and cod live in this area of the Baltic sea, so rent a boat (with or without a guide) or just grab your rod and pull your waders on.
All types of fishing are available in this area’s varied waters. Excellent fishing spots are dotted along the coast where, on top of the trout and cod, garfish and flounder populate the sea. Lakes, rivers and ponds are within easy reach. These add to the wonderful scenery on offer and make the fishing even more varied and exciting, for amateurs and professionals.
