Trolling Vättern

We offer an adventure!

Welcome aboard the largest and most comfortable trolling boat in the Nordics. On board this Kulkuri 34 Lång, you sit comfortably in theater seats, surrounded by the latest electronics from Garmin, waiting for the fish to bite. There is also plenty of room in the heated cabin where it is warm and cozy during the cold trips. More about our Boats

My name is Rade Brodic. I have fished all my life and live in Motala with Vättern close by. My guiding season spans the entire year; Vättern and Vänern, as long as it is ice-free. I offer you and your friends, or colleagues, the chance for a really good fishing trip, and a wonderful experience. 

We tailor the day based on your wishes. No prior knowledge is required and we have professional sport fishing equipment for the whole party. 

 day with me on the lake not only means exciting fishing with a chance of big fish, but also an investment for your own future fishing through new “tips and tricks” to take with you. You usually come ashore with both fish and an improved tan, and after a day on the lake you sleep fantastically well. The port of departure is Hästholmen. After agreement, pick-up can also take place from other ports.

Why book me?

With my experience and good local knowledge you are taken directly to the best places. The fish we mainly get are trout, salmon and char; the famous Vätternröding. Fishing for salmon and trout is conducted throughout the year, however, October to May is the best period, while fishing for char is good all year round.

The fishing equipment we use is of a high standard so that you get a wonderful feeling when you drill your fish. The method is trolling and usually 10 rods are used simultaneously. For deep-sea fishing we use deep sea rigs and surface fishing is done via planer boards.

I offer my expertise and knowledge of fishing on everything from equipment to places and times of the year. You can then use this to improve your own fishing for salmon, trout and char.

Certified fishing guide

I am a certified fishing guide according to SOF regulations. Sweden’s Organized Fishing Guides (SOF) is a non-profit association with the task of working for the development of the fishing tourism industry. The association’s members must actively work for a high level of safety, sustainable fishing, appropriate fishing management and adherence to common law principles.

Wellness contribution

The 10th of july 2020 the Swedish Tax Agency decided that fishing is justified for wellness contribution (if your company is registered in Sweden)! Something that benefits both us sport fishing guides and you as customers.

Redy for an amazing experience?

Compititions and qualifications

The salmon is one of the strongest fish we have in our waters and getting a big salmon on a rod gives a memory of a lifetime. The world record for lake salmon caught with rod (20.4 kg) was actually taken in Vättern in December 1997. In other words, big fishes are found in large lakes, and hopefully we will catch your dreamfish. In my professionally equipped trollingboat you will experience an exciting and relaxing fishing trip.

The hunt for big fish and good placement in trollingcompetitions is equally exciting, and when Rade competes his team compete under the name Team Kirby. After a couple of smaller warm-up competitions in Hästholmen, we started to compete with a little more focus and have as of June 2019 the following results.
