Trolling for salmon
If you are interested in salmon trolling you can't get a greater or
more powerful experience than a trolling tour on the mighty Åland Sea.
The excitement increases every minute and when the silvery fish finally
takes the bait, the adventure has begun. Your excitement and pride will
know no boundaries when the salmon finally is caught after a long, wild
fight with quick rushes and stubborn tugs.
Did you know that both the Finnish and the Åland trolling record is 23.12 kg?
Best in May and June
In Åland the environment
for salmon trolling is optimal. There are large fishing grounds and a
good charter boat service. Additionally the walking distances to the
fishing places are short. Just remember that trolling after salmon on
open seas puts great demands on both boat and equipment. There is a
strong tug on the line when the salmon takes the bait; the most
impressive catches weigh 20 kilos and more.
High season for salmon trolling is in May and June. That's also when the archipelago nature in Åland is at its best.
Salmon trolling meeting in Åland
If you see
salmon trolling in the sea as one of your great interests, you should
reserve a weekend at the end of May for a fishing trip to Åland. Then
it is time for the yearly team competition "Trollingträff Åland" in the
waters surrounding Eckerö and Hammarudda. In spring 2010 the trolling
competition is arranged between May 27-29th.
