Pike fishing in Sweden

Our fishing season runs from early April to late October.

The technique and choice of lures can vary from day to day, we advise you to maximize your chances of success.

We fish bays, reed beds, seagrass beds. The depth varies between 0.5m and 3m of water.

We will advise you on the type of lures to provide, sizes, weights, colors etc...

At Fishing Escape Sweden, we've deliberately chosen a different approach from traditional large-scale fishing camps.

We welcome a maximum of three anglers per guided session, in order to preserve the fishing spots, reduce fishing pressure, and offer a truly personalized experience. (If you are alone, you can join a group of two other fishermen).

Here, there's no constant turnover of clients, no lines of boats in the same areas, and no standardized fishing.

Our offering is tailor-made, based on your skill level, your expectations, and the current conditions.

This small-scale approach allows us to change locations every week, take you to less frequented areas, take the time to share our experience, and let you experience pike fishing in Sweden at its most authentic.

Sweden is a pike fishing paradise year-round, but some periods are more favorable and accessible. In winter, Swedish waters are often frozen over.

It's generally necessary to wait until March to be able to navigate freely. To maximize your chances, it's important to adapt your fishing techniques to the conditions and time of year.

In spring (April-May), pike become very active, moving closer to shallow, warm waters. Look for them in depths between 0.5m and 3m. They lie in wait in weed beds, reedbeds, and other aquatic habitats.

The main technique is lure fishing. Soft lures such as shads, swimbaits, jerkbaits, spinners, and chatterbaits are particularly effective.

In summer (June-August), although pike are active all day, they are particularly active in the morning and evening, avoiding the hottest hours. Summer is also a good season for perch fishing.

The main techniques involve soft lures, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits. Surface strikes are spectacular in summer.

In autumn (September-November), pike are building up their winter reserves and are very active. The feeding frenzies are impressive. Using the same types of lures, slow fishing yields excellent results!
