WEATHER & FISHING

 
As on all other places on the planet the weather and wind affects the fishing on the Swedish west coast. Below is a summary of the best weather for the different species.

Searun browntrout on the coast
Seatrout tends to get picky when the weather gets nice and sunny with no wind, and under such circumstances we use smaller flies/baits and finer tippets. The best weather is a cloudy sky and medium winds from south or west. It breaks the surface and push water onto the coast. The tide is very light in Sweden and the water level in the sea is affected more by wind and air pressure. 
Peak time: April - June + September.

Mackerel
These hard fishting miniature tuna likes stable, nice weather. Quick changes and cold fronts during summer make them change their feeding grounds, especially the fish staying close to the coast.
Peak time: July - September.

Stillwater browntrout & rainbow trout
In general a broken surface, cloudy sky and light wind from south and west is good for the stillwater lakes. During mayfly hatches in the beginning of the season nice and calm weather is preferable.
Peak time: May - June + September - October.

Running water brown trout
As the fishing for brown trout in running water is mainly done with dryflies, we prefer nice, warm and stable weather.
Peak time: May - July.

Pike
In early spring when the water is cold, warm southerly winds make the pike more active. In general the pikes prefer seatrout-like weather, southwesterly winds, broken water and cloudy skies. 
Peak time: April - June.

Perch
Same as mackerel, they want stable, nice weather.
Peak time: August - October.

General weather information
Göteborg’s climate is varied, and each season brings its own charm!
January to March can bring snow storms, cold spells and bright sunshine, slush and rain with milder temperatures, which tend to come in March. The days seem shorter as dusk comes in the late afternoon, but from the middle of winter onwards the days actually get lighter.

In early April the long-awaited green shoots of spring begin to appear, and a month later the birch trees and the city's many pavement cafés start to blossom. The sun and the long days are eagerly awaited, and like the vegetation the people of Göteborg seem to come to life again after the long winter.

Summer proper arrives some time in June, and Midsummer Eve in mid-June signals that summer is definitely here. During the summer months from June to August Göteborg's waters are a pleasant temperature for bathing, and the waters along the coast and in the city centre are a hive of activity.

In September summer passes to autumn, and the leaves change colour from green to gold and orange.During this month the temperatures are usually pleasant and the sun's rays somehow manage to push through. This is the time of year to set out in the forests and countryside to pick mushrooms. In October however, the autumn weather becomes more changeable, sometimes bringing lively storm winds and rain. From October and early November the real autumn weather with lower temperatures begins, and more and more often an umbrella is necessary.

December usually brings frost and cold days, the water freezes over and some winters bring plenty of snow. However, despite the darkness of December there's still light in the windows, as advent stars and candle bridges are dusted off and displayed to illuminate the city.And so a year passes, and a new one approaches with four new seasons.
