Fishing in Fyrisan Uppsala: River Activity with Local Guide

Cast a line in one of Sweden's most scenic rivers and let the guide find the fish.

A fishing activity on the Fyrisan river in Uppsala pairs you with a local guide for 2.5 hours of fishing for pike, perch and trout. You choose whether to reach the fishing spot by motorboat or kayak, and the guide handles the pickup from your location. Beer or wine is available on request. Children from age 10 are welcome.

The experience

You're picked up and driven to the river, then you decide how to fish: take an engine boat upstream to a productive spot, or paddle a kayak through the water if you prefer a quieter approach. Either way, the guide knows where the pike, perch and trout are holding and sets you up with quality equipment in a peaceful stretch of water. The Fyrisan is one of Sweden's most scenic rivers, and the fishing happens in that setting, not a crowded dock or a stocked pond.

The activity runs 2.5 hours from start to finish. Your guide speaks English and fishes alongside you, offering expert local knowledge about the river and the species you're after. If you land something, you land it. If the fish aren't biting, you're still on the water in a place most tourists never see. Beer or wine is available if you want it after casting.
