Year 2022
Do you want to go fishing in Lapland’s finest lakes? Do you want experienced guides who knows the lay of the land and loves to see other people get the chance to enjoy the great wilderness? Do you want to catch fish you have always wanted, and share meals and the experience with other fishermen?
Then you should join us out in the Lapland mountains!
In 2022 we will arrange tours in week 29 and 30.
In week 30 we will be spending the first three days by the river Kaitum, the best and most beautiful tributary to the river Tirtjam.
In this location you will experience Sweden’s maybe densest population of adult grayling fish, which uses the upstream lakes and the rivers downstream to feed in the short arctic summer. There is also plenty of trout, European whitefish and coarse pike in these waters.
The well-known fly-fishing writer G. Westrin describes Tirtjam as one of the finest and most beautiful area he has visited.
Next, we will be transported by helicopter further up in the mountains to an area with plenty of lakes and smaller rivers. There we spend the next three days fishing along the streams which offers fantastic opportunity to catch grayling and trout. In a few of the streams there are also chances of catching arctic char!
Last year, we discovered our own small “secret” river, where we will be offering an epic sighfishing experience. Crystal clear water, high beach edges and good, dense vegetation around the gentle-flowing stream helps protect from the winds and enhances your experience. The fish will also be well displayed in the water thanks to the bright sandy bottom of the river.
There is also a motorboat accessible if you want to get out onto the lakes or to some of the rivers that connects the lakes.
The tent camp is already set up when you arrive by helicopter, and freshly brewed campfire coffee would be close to boil on arrival.
We provide comfortable and large tents for accommodation, and we have a dedicated kitchen tent where we will be able to eat our meals by a table. Outside meals under the tarp is possible when the weather permits it.
Hearty breakfasts, lunches and suppers are a given, and our guests have praised us for the excellent food. If you get hungry for something more between the meals, we will of course be providing something extra. On these trips, there is also free access to chocolates, cakes and other small snacks.
Long days of fishing require lots of energy! Freshly brewed coffee is of course available at all times.
In the evenings you retreat to the camp. Where you talk about your day with the others, about which fly works the best, lie about who got the biggest trout, and maybe you treat yourself to a swig of whiskey.
Last year, about 75% of our guests travelled with us for the second time! As an added comfort, and to great appreciation by our guests, are our portable toilets that are set up in small tents. This allows us to avoid the bothersome mosquitoes when nature calls.
We do our outmost to make these trips as fantastic and experience as possible for you!
All you need to do is fish and enjoy the fantastic nature. The rest is taken care of by us. We will also help you book helicopter transfers, arrange transport to and from the airport or train station, in addition to recommend hotels and other accommodation in Kiruna.
2022 is the first year we bring guests to Rautasriver. After having had very good fishing there for several years, we now feel readyto offer trips to this fantastic water. The arrangement is just like on the Kaitum trips. You fly helicopter out to the outlet of Rautaslake in week 29 where you are on one very beautiful and varied stretchof the river.There you fish for trout and char. The river here is quite small, shallow and easy to wade.
Calm currents, islands and shorter strong currents provide an area that is made for dry fly fishing.
On this stretch only fly fishing is allowed and the tents are only a few meters from the water.
After three days, you fly further down to an area just downstream of the waterfall that prevents the grayling from establishing itself upstream.
These are instead available in large quantities on this stretch. There is also a lot of trout, maybe even trout than grayling
in the hard currents that begin the stretch.There is a good chans to catch large trout and in 2021 the top listing for us was a beautiful piece of 68 cm. It got to swim back and may still be there in the backwater below the waterfall?
We do our outmost to make these trips as fantastic and experience as possible for you!
