Plan your trip in Kurzeme
Lake, river or seashore
Kurzeme offers differ in more than target species: a boat trip on Lake Usma and a coastal trip in Liepāja are different plans. Check the method, tackle and how to reach the specific location.
Confirm the weather plan
Before a coastal or lake trip, agree what happens if wind or other conditions are unsuitable. For river fishing, check the chosen stretch's current rules and permits separately; a regional season description does not replace them.
Season information does not replace local fishing rules. Before your trip, check current closures and permits and agree on the final price with your guide.
