Sea fishing

Fantastic sea fishing

The High Coast has great sea trout fishing along the stony coastline where trout love to spend their time. And you can do very well just by fishing with a rod from the beach. Try to get out in the spring when the ice has just melted, but as late in the season as early June you can come across large trout. You can also fish for perch, pikeperch and pike as well as other species. An adventure that promises wonderful experiences along our wild, beautiful and dramatic coast. Fishing in the sea is also completely free as you don’t need a fishing licence.

Sea trout

Some places attract more sea trout than others, for example reefs, points, stony sections of coastline and areas rich in kelp and open spaces with sand, pebbles or gravel – the so-called leopard seabed. There are plenty of these places along the High Coast. In the spring and autumn, the sea trout enjoy the onshore breezes that bring in warmer water. At these times of year, you can fish all day long but in summer your greatest chances are at dusk and dawn or during the night. Spin fishing and fly fishing are the most popular ways to fish for sea trout. Try your luck with whatever you have in your fishing bag. Streamer flies, long oblong spoon lures and wobblers can work well. Remember that the minimum length limit for sea trout is 40 cm along the High Coast. 
Fishing for sea trout is banned in the Idbyfjärden inlet from August 15 to October 31 each year.

Fishing for herring

Take the whole family on a fun fishing adventure and try your hand at herring fishing. A good tip is to fish for herring from the pier in Örnsköldsvik. Count on this kind of fishing to be both fruitful and fun all summer long.
