Nestled within one of the planet’s largest archipelagos, Stockholm boasts over 30,000 islands teeming with year-round fishing adventures. From rugged coastlines ideal for sea trout in winter to tranquil bays perfect for pike and perch, the opportunities are boundless. Even the city center transforms into a prime fishing spot when salmon and sea trout migrate through Stockholm Ström—triggered by seasonal water releases from Lake Mälaren (typically September to May).
