FLY FISHING, SPIN FISHING

Gotland is famous for its wide, shallow sand and pebble beaches, which are best suited for fishing from the shore. The beaches are particularly suitable for wading, so bring waders and also take your own fishing equipment with you on the trip. The most popular fishing methods are fly fishing or spin fishing and the most common catch is sea trout.

We move by car and on the beach, walking and wading, fishing during the day in several different places, depending on the conditions. Seatrout fishing is often excellent and wading is easy, the average weight of seatrout in Gotland is 1.5-2 kg, but each year someone will catch a seatrout weighing up to 8-9 kg. The catch limit is 1 seatrout/fisherman/day and the minimum size of a seatrout is 50 cm.

FISHING EQUIPMENT

For seatrout fly fishing in Gotland, we recommend one handed 9-10 foot fly rods in classes 6-7, high-quality reels with disc brakes. For fly lines, we recommend floating, floating/intermediate or slow intermediate shooting heads. Spin fishing is best done with a high-quality spinning or open reel and a good carbon fiber 8-10 foot rod.
