Nestled in the heart of the Baltic Sea, Gotland is a dream destination for fly anglers, offering breathtaking landscapes and thrilling catches like perch and sea trout. Each season brings its own magic—from late summer’s explosive perch action to winter’s trophy sea trout challenges.

Special thanks to our Swedish fly fishing expert Robin for sharing these insights and stunning visuals!

Late Summer & Autumn: Perch Feeding Frenzy
As summer fades, Gotland’s harbors come alive with aggressive perch chasing herring. Cast baitfish imitations for heart-pounding strikes—watching these predators ambush your fly is pure adrenaline.

Autumn’s Hidden Gems: River Perch
By mid-autumn, perch migrate into streams and rivers, hunting smaller prey. Fish scenic waters with baitfish patterns—just ensure you’ve secured a license via iFiske.se.

Spring Perch Revival
Post-winter, warming waters awaken perch. Experiment with flies ranging from tiny nymphs to oversized pike patterns as these fish regain their vigor.

Gotland’s Crown Jewel: Sea Trout
With 80km of pristine coastline, Gotland is a sea trout mecca. Its compact size means prime spots are never far—just a short drive away.

Autumn Sea Trout Migration
A true angler’s test! Target trout moving shoreward to spawn with wooly buggers, shrimp, and baitfish flies for unforgettable battles.

Winter’s Trophy Trout
Shallow waters (even 30cm deep!) hold hungry sea trout by day. Sight-fish near rocks and seaweed, where they devour gammarus and shrimp—your best shot at a fly-caught giant.

Spring’s Unpredictable Challenge
Adapt or go home! Spring trout feast on everything from gammarus to ragworms, demanding sharp skills and creativity. Outsmarting them is the ultimate reward.
