Northern Ladoga has hundreds of islands forming unique archipelagos with rocky shores and complex bottom relief. Deep channels and bays are home to a huge number of fish species. Current cafe orders for the Archipelago are updated below.
Ladoga Archipelago: Trolling and Baltic giants
Advice for beginners: big water and reliable spinning gear
If you have just unlocked the Archipelago, your proven Kuori tackle becomes your main source of income again.
Tactic (Large-scale farm):
Rent a boat and prepare for long routes. Trolling is the core method here, with pike, lake trout, Ladoga salmon, and Atlantic salmon forming the main catch.
Night hunt:
After dark, zander responds much more actively to lures.
Handling by-catch:
Do not ignore smaller fish. Perch, vendace, ripus, and grayling often appear on the way and are perfect for small cafe orders.
Alternative:
If you already learned the wacky rig, try anchoring above deep pits where valuable palia waits.
For experienced anglers: searching for rare whitefish
For advanced players, the Archipelago is mainly about specific trophies for Honorary Angler.
Why visit the cafe?
The Archipelago cafe is one of the most profitable in the game because it combines constant by-catch with expensive salmon contracts.

- What to turn in: Salmon, zander, and trout are top priorities, while small orders for vendace and smelt close almost automatically during trolling.
- Benefit: There is almost always an expensive predator order on the list, so the monitor helps you avoid selling a golden catch on the normal market.
