Mälaren is a large inland lake in Stockholm with access to the sea and is Sweden’s most species-rich lake. However, perhaps the best sport fishing can be found at Lake Gömmaren, which is stocked with game fish, is ideal for fly fishing, and also allows for spinning from the shore.
Flottsbro offers facilities such as camping, cabins, sandy beaches, bathing jetties, and a guest dock for boats, making it a perfect place for a fishing trip, an overnight stay, or a longer vacation.

Fishing Waters and Regulations
Lakes Albysjön and Tullingesjön
It is free to fish with handheld gear such as fishing rods, flies, and spinners without a permit. For fishing enthusiasts, there are also great opportunities for sport fishing, with Lake Albysjön particularly appealing due to its variety of fish species. You might even be lucky enough to catch a lamprey, a rare species not found in many places in Sweden.
At Flottsbro’s inn, you can rent canoes for more mobility on the lake, though fishing from piers and the shoreline is also excellent. Fishing from the pier to the right of the swimming beach is a particularly popular summer pastime for children.
Fishing for Rainbow Trout at Lake Gömmaren
Near Flottsbro, you’ll also find Lake Gömmaren, where you can fish for stocked species like rainbow trout and Arctic char. The lake is a popular destination for sport anglers and is surrounded by beautiful nature. A fantastic spot for both fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers. Surrounded by forest and the scent of bog, it feels like a mountain lake in northern Sweden—you can even find cloudberries here in late summer!
Spinning works well, but the most recommended method for catching game fish is fly fishing.
