Better angling with fishing guides 

   

We want our guests to have the most enjoyable and exciting fishing experiences as possible. So we asked Sven and Anna to share some tips. “To get the most out of fishing in unfamiliar waters, I suggest hiring a fishing guide for a day or a half-day,” explains Sven. “That way you’ll soon find out where, when and how you’re most likely to catch the biggest fish. And they can tell you what the best bait is right there and then.” He’s right – one of our friendly, knowledgeable fishing guides can provide valuable information and advice that will make all the difference between having a good or a bad day fishing.
