Abisko: Ice Fishing Experience

Have you ever wondered how to catch fish when the lake is frozen? Come join this trip for an introduction on how ice fishing works. We have by far the most experienced ice fishing guides in Abisko and we keep all out equipment in top condition to make sure you get the best possible experience.

First we go by either car or snowmobile to get to a suitable lake. In the beginning of the season it's the smaller lakes around Abisko and later in the season it's usually the big lake named Torne Träsk that dominates the landscape north or Abisko.

Once we get to our lake for the day we will show you how to drill holes, what equipment to use and how to use it properly.

In many of the lakes the water is so clear that you can actually look down the hole and see the fish when it comes in to go for your bait.

The most common fish to catch are Arctic char, grayling and burbot. If you are lucky you may also catch whitefish or trout, and in a couple of lakes you may also catch perch.

You do not need any prior fishing experience or equipment, we provide everything you will need and we will teach you everything you need to know.
