Fishing for salmon or lake trout in the lakes of Värmland
may require a slightly different approach than in rivers. Salmon in lakes tend to swim deeper, so it’s important to use the right equipment and technique.
Trolling techniques are often used for salmon fishing in lakes. This involves pulling bait or artificial lures behind a slow-moving boat. Popular lures include various types of spoons, wobblers or special salmon lures that can be used at different depths to attract salmon. Downriggers, for example, are a great help for this, allowing you to offer the bait at variable depths.
It is helpful to find out about the preferred depths and migration routes of the salmon in the respective lake. Knowledge of the waters and the behavior of the fish is crucial to successfully fishing for salmon in the lakes of Värmland.
