"When is the best fishing time", is a good question that determines when the free moments should be spent fishing. All seasons contain their special characteristics that shape the fishing experience. Catching a nice char on the winter ice is a memorable experience, to get a nice grayling during autumn fishing, also. Or maybe just get a small brook trout and nothing more, in the middle of summer. All are worth experiencing despite varied outcomes. Many people associate 'the most and the biggest fish' with a successful experience. If that is the only goal, disappointment is close at hand.
The only answer we usually give is that all seasons have their own allure. What Långåfisket offers is varied fishing throughout the year and we try to make it as easy as possible for the fisherman through information and various types of service. We give advice for your planning of what this year should contain. After that, it is the fisherman himself who decides how good the fishing is. On the same day and place, the result varies from zero feeling to a personal record.
In order to still try to give a 'useful' answer, I think for my own part that from early spring, say April and into early July is very good. The grayling in autumn, from the last days of August until the line freezes in the tracks is also a good time. Winter fishing really starts as soon as the ice lasts and culminates towards March, april. And really all the times in between!
There are two other special occasions I would rather not miss. This is when the large dragonflies hatch at the end of May and into June and when the char spawn and show in September, October. These are experiences beyond what you usually get to be a part of, not even in the dream.
Actually, I think that the fishing in Långå is at its best "occasionally" throughout the year, but I realize that it is not something to plan for with work, calculated vacation days and accommodation fifty miles from Lånå.
But it is always an advantage to practice fishing techniques and increase knowledge about fish and fishing. The best time for it is between fishing trips, I have realized and if it has not already happened, it is high time right now. Everyone can get better with more practice and more knowledge. The fishing equipment needs to be arranged already now because when the fishing trip approaches, there are other things that have to be done. And you - go to the swimming pool and try putting on the life jacket when you're already in the water. There you get lessons that can save your life.
Feel free to go to the website and read about all the good tips and advice about planning, equipment, safety and of course – the fishing waters in Långåfisket. See you!
