Laxfiske i Lagan

After a day out on town, it can be very relaxing to take a walk down to the Lagan river to try your hand at salmon fishing. Fishing is a very popular pastime with both visitors and locals. Children under the age of 18 fish for free; adults need to purchase a fishing license which is easily available at the Laholm tourist office. While fishing with rods is fairly common, you do have stretches that are suitable for fly fishing. You can catch trout here, but the main attraction is salmon. In autumn, particularly, Lagan offers superb fishing with many salmon catches of 7 to 8 kgs. Salmon up to 14 kg have been reportedly caught in these waters.
