Welcome to Kalmarsund, Sweden's best perch fishing waters! A fishing trip for 2kg perch.

Kalmarsund offers varied and exciting fishing. There are really good stocks of perch here, for which the area is known, but also plenty of pike and sea trout. During the right period, you may also encounter species such as whitefish and various coarse fish. The focus for most anglers is perch and pike, but the sound offers a wide and vibrant fish fauna all year round.

You can go to Kalmarsund from June to February, and each period has its strengths. Summer offers fast-paced shallow fishing with aggressive perch. Autumn is when many of the largest fish are caught, perfect for those hunting really big perch. During winter, the fish gather in schools, and the fishing becomes slower but often very rewarding. Regardless of the season, there's a chance for big fish, and fishing guide Fredrik Renz will help you choose the right period based on your trip's goals.

Yes, absolutely. You can tailor your entire fishing trip with us at Outside Travels. We customize the duration, itinerary, accommodation, food, and number of fishing days you desire. If you want to focus extra on more guided hours with Fredrik Renz or combine different techniques, we can arrange that.

If you are travelling to our destination from a country other than Sweden, you must always check what passport and visa regulations apply to your citizenship. Requirements can vary greatly between different countries. The most important thing is that your passport is valid throughout your trip and sometimes longer, depending on the country's rules. Please contact us and we will help you find out what applies to your fishing trip and provide guidance so that everything goes smoothly.

Kalmarsund is located on the Swedish east coast, between the mainland and Öland. The area belongs to Sweden and is characterized by coastal archipelago environments, shallow bays, and a rich marine ecosystem, making it perfect for sport fishing. It has a Nordic climate with warm summers, milder autumns, and cold winters. Sweden uses Swedish Kronor as its currency, and power outlets are of European standard. It is easy to travel here by car, train, and plane, depending on where you come from, and the area is known for its nature, tranquility, and strong populations of perch and pike.

Yes, there is Wi-Fi in all rooms. You can easily stay in touch with family and friends, upload photos from the day's fishing, and plan your next trip directly from your accommodation.

In Kalmarsund, fishing is almost always done in shallow water, often at depths between 50 centimeters and two meters. This makes the fishing both visual and varied. The most common methods are jig fishing with a light jig head, drop shot, Ned rig, and various finesse methods when the fish are sluggish. During warmer periods, chatterbaits, hard baits, and fast-fished jigs work very well. In autumn and winter, jerkbaits and slow, bottom-near fishing are often key. With a local fishing guide like Fredrik Renz, your chances increase significantly as he knows how the fishing changes day by day and helps you choose the right method for that particular day.

Kalmarsund has a coastal climate that varies greatly throughout the year. Summer offers warm days and stable weather suitable for fast and active fishing. Autumn is cooler and often clearer, causing large perch to hunt more intensely. During winter, it gets colder and fishing is slower, but the chance of catching really large fish is at its greatest. Wind direction and temperature play a big role in the sound, and a local fishing guide like Fredrik Renz will help you understand how the weather affects fish behavior on that particular day.
