Lake fishing
There are several lakes just a short trip from the Gothenburg city centre. The lakes in the natural areas of Delsjön and Vättlefäll are popular examples. You need a fishing permit if you want to go fishing in the lakes. You can get one called “Gula kortet” which translates to “the yellow license card”. The card is valid in many lakes in the Gothenburg area. On Sportfiskarnas website you will find more information about lake fishing.
Fishing musem and fish auction
The island of Hönö in the Gothenburg archipelago has a musem where you can learn more about the history of fishing on the west coast.
Gothenburg is also home to the largest fish auction in Sweden. It’s a real spectacle and worth getting up early for. You won’t be able to actually buy any fish at the auction, it’s open for retailers only, but it’s fun to just watch.
Museum in the archipelago
Curious about what fishing boats used to look like, how fishing was carried out, or the local war history? On Hönö in the Gothenburg archipelago, you’ll find the Fishing Museum, where you can learn more.
