Why go fishing in Lithuania?
Lithuania is a green country on the Baltic Sea with plenty of lakes, rivers and ponds in beautiful, quiet nature. It is one of the most rewarding places in Northern Europe for recreational fishing:
- More than 50 fish species – pike, perch, zander, catfish, bream, salmon, eel, tench and many more.
- Big and varied waters – the Nemunas river and its delta, the Curonian Lagoon, the Kaunas Reservoir, thousands of lakes and almost 100 km of Baltic Sea coast.
- Wild nature – 5 national parks, pine forests and the sand dunes of the Curonian Spit.
- Fishing all year round – from spring herring runs and summer trolling to autumn trophy pike and winter ice fishing.
Where we fish
- Nemunas river and Nemunas Delta – the largest river in Lithuania, famous for zander, catfish (including night fishing), bream and pike.
- Curonian Lagoon – a huge shallow lagoon rich in perch, zander, pike, bream and roach; ice fishing for smelt in winter.
- Kaunas Reservoir – the biggest artificial lake in Lithuania, great for zander and predator fishing.
- Lakes all over Lithuania – trolling and spinning for pike and perch, feeder fishing for bream.
- Baltic Sea near Klaipėda – boat fishing for cod, herring, plaice, turbot and salmon.
