Gotland - enchanted island in the middle of the Baltic Sea

The island of Gotland east of Sweden´s mainland has about 800 km of coast and has become a Baltic sea hot spot for sea trout fishery. The sea-run browns on Gotland are of high average weight and spawn naturally in the many Gotland creeks. Fish Your Dream helps you to get to the right spots and makes sure the whole Gotland fishing trip meets your expectations. Guiding, accommodation, meals... We fish by wading the shallow flats with fly rod or spinning rod. A guide is more or less necessary since every day we make unique decisions depending on wind, temperature, currents and gut feeling. The elusive trout is targeted in spring and fall when they are moving closer to shore and chances for a hook up is at its best.

Accommodation is in the UNESCO world heritage medieval town of Visby and it makes the perfect framing of your fishing day. If you want to stay in the countryside we also offer nice cabins. Welcome to Gotland.
