About this experience

Join me for an unforgettable fishing trip, trolling* for Vänern’s legendary big fishes.

With its vast waters and rich fish stocks, Vänern is a true angler’s paradise. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a beginner, I’ll guide you through the best fishing spots, using top-quality gear and expert techniques to maximize your chances of a big catch. Enjoy the thrill of the chase, the beauty of the open water, and the excitement of reeling in a trophy-sized fish.

*Trolling is a fishing method where bait is pulled through the water behind a moving boat. Using multiple rods, trolling covers a larger area of the lake, increasing the chances of catching big fish. It’s an exciting yet relaxing way to fish, where you wait for the fish to strike while enjoying the natural beauty of the lake.

Bring your own lunch, snacks, and coffee.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced anglers, this tour combines adventure, learning, and the chance to land the catch of a lifetime.
