Voracious pike and trendy perch Hire a fishing guide for one day or several! You’ll then be ready to make some of the biggest catches on your own - if that’s what you want. In many cases, you’ll have so much fun in the boat that you’ll prefer fishing together with others. Åland’s fishing guides often receive praise, both on Facebook and by email, from guests who are so pleased with their fishing trip that they often come back for more and more. Actually, this is not very surprising. The guides are active sport fishers, whose work is their passion all year round. It is a good concept, without any extra bells and whistles: it merely gives the guests the experiences they’ve come for. That’s precisely why you’ll always be well taken care of. Fishing guides provide both tackle and knowledge. They have sturdy, well-equipped boats and know just where the fish are biting. You won’t even have to worry about meals, either. When your stomach starts growling, the guide will simply lay out a tasty spread of food and drink. ÅLAND IS A FISHING PARADISE all year round, with excellent fishing and the unparalleled natural beauty of the archipelago. Perch fishing is constantly gaining in popularity. According to the fishing guides, it is currently something of a trend to fish for perch with rigs other than just a spinner and jig. Another speciality is the tough and agile pike. You can fish pike with both spinners and flies in many places throughout Åland. And, for a little variety, you can also fish for pike-perch and sea trout. Åland has beautiful lowland shorelines facing the open sea that are tailor-made for fly fishing, whether from the shore or on a float. In the winter, when the ice has set, anglers can pack their jigs and thermos and head out for a spot of ice fishing. YOU CAN EASILY BOOK a package deal, including transport, accommodations and guided fishing. Or, you can simply hire yourself a boat, get a fishing permit and head out on your own without a guide.
Fishing permits online! The waters surrounding Åland are divided into several large and small fishing permit areas. All visiting anglers must have a valid fishing permit.
