At Flarken Adventure, we believe that true experiences happen when you connect with nature — and there’s no better way to do that than fishing the wild, clear waters of Swedish Lapland. Whether you’re chasing the legendary northern pike or the massive perch, predator fishing here is as pure and thrilling as it gets.
Why Lapland? Untamed Waters, Epic Catches
Swedish Lapland is one of Europe’s last wilderness frontiers. Imagine casting your line into a remote lake where the only sound is the call of birds or the ripple of water from a rising fish. With thousands of untouched lakes, winding rivers, and barely a soul in sight, it’s a predator angler’s dream.
And the fish? They’re big, strong, and wild. Our region is known for monster pike, trophy perch, and, in some areas, quality zander. The cold, clean water creates perfect conditions for slow but steady growth — resulting in old, powerful fish that offer an incredible fight.
The Big Three: Pike, Perch, and Zander
Pike: These apex predators are the stars of Lapland’s waters. Strikes are violent, often at the surface, and fish over 100 cm are caught regularly.
Perch: Don’t underestimate them. Lapland perch grow big — often 40–50 cm — and they’re aggressive, making for exciting sport on light gear.
Zander: Found further south in deeper lakes, zander are a prized catch for anglers who enjoy finesse fishing with soft baits and jigs.
Tackle Tips & Techniques
Whether you’re bringing your own gear or using ours, here are some proven setups:
For Pike: Medium-heavy to heavy rods, 30–50 lb braid, and big lures — think soft swimbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and surface plugs.
For Perch: Light spinning rods, 6–10 lb line, and smaller lures — jigs, spinners, and crankbaits. Finesse pays off in clear water.
For Zander: Vertical jigging or trolling near drop-offs can be productive, especially during low light hours.
When to Come
The predator season runs from late May through September. Early summer (June–July) is prime time for active pike just after spawning. August and September bring cooler weather, stunning autumn colors, and excellent perch fishing.
And don’t forget — in summer, the sun doesn’t really set. You can fish all night long under the midnight sun.
Respect the Wilderness
At Flarken Adventure, we promote sustainable, respectful fishing. Many of our guests practice catch and release, especially with large predators. Please follow local regulations, handle fish carefully, and leave no trace in this pristine environment.
