Lake Vättern char
Lake Vättern in south Sweden is a big, clear and clean lake with big pikes, salmons and char! Because of it´s size and cold water it is a very good habitat for char, and few places in the south part or the country can present this spieces. Pictured is a nice specimen caught on trolling.
West coast mackrell
The first shools of mackerell has now showed up on the west coast of Sweden, and good catches has been reported from several places. Anglers fishing from the shore has also been successful which is quite rare this early in the season. Normally the best time is from late june to the end of september. Mackrell is a fast swimmer and good sport on light tackle, and very nice to eat, preferably fried or smoked.

Dragsö Fishing Camp news
From Dragsö Fishing Camp outside Karlskrona we have the following news to report :::::: We're in the middle of high season for spring fishing and pikes are really dancing with us at the moment. Fortunately, all boats are working well now and all of them are out for a couple of more weeks. We do have packages left from May 25th if interested, this is in my opinion one of the best weeks to fish for pikes in our area. This week we have several returning guests but also some groups who visit us for their first time. At the moment we're holding fishing guests from Ukraine, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and more to come on Saturday from France and Latvia. Amounts of pike is mostly good and variates from 10-40 pikes in each boat per day. Temperatures has rised a lot lately so we do have up to 16-17 degrees in shallow areas at the moment. This has also started the invasion of hornpikes, who already has been caught in the waters around Dragsö. With light equipment and small spoon lures, they're actually very fun to fish for as a break from catching the regular pikes. According to personal experience and what the reports are telling me about, blue/white lures (herring colour) are catching best at the moment. This concern both jerkbaits and softbaits. Nice report yesterday from Jesper who belongs to Karlskrona fishingteam 'Gäddstaun' texted me about an insane evening fishing on his own. Approx 30 pikes and two individuals with a weight of +6kg! I've also got a few pictures from the French guests who visited us last week, so here they come! // Daniel Wickman.

Rainbow fishing at Hökensås now open
Here is an update from Hökensås and the grand opening ::::::: Then we´re up and running! This year's start-up could be carried out even though it looked pretty bad until the beginning of the week. But the weather with strong winds and plenty of rain meant we could stock our lakes as planned. It was just lake L. Grubben and Göl 39 where the ice stayed, so that fish could not be put in before startup, but otherwise it was 2.5 tons of fish put into the lakes. 06h00 the 2013 season started with a rocket in the air. The fishing was overall really good and a lot of nice fish were landed during the day. The weather remained fairly good with only a local burst of rain, which still may be seen as something positive because it just days before the predicted steady rain all day. Young and old, girls and boys, all had a nice day at Hökensås at the opening day of season 2013!
