Swedish term or phrase: långdrag
Can anyone help me with the English name for this? It's a method used when fishing for char (the text I have makes a distinction between this and fly-fishing).

Explanation:
The method used with a small boat. 'Drag fishing' is the term most often used for commercial fishing.

Your notes: No, it is not 'trawling'. 'Långdrag' is normally done with one or two lines over the boat's stern and mostly by rowing ('ro drag'). I've done it on lakes and in protected fjords in the Swedish archipelagoes.
NB. You can increase the chance of catching fish by using more lines. But picture the "sallad" following a fighting fish!

Thanks Lars - you put me on the right track. I found loads of references to row trolling once I started looking (http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/outdoors/12954500.htm)

No, trawling uses a net, this method uses lines with bait. See also Lars' note.
