Lapland

Salmon, grayling, pike and perch

Fishing for salmon, grayling, pike and perch with 24 hours of light! This is a truly amazing experience above the arctic circle.
Imagine you are overlooking the clear river stream where insects are abundant above the water, and the graylings rise up to have them as lunch . Or imagine one o f the many remote lakes, in the middle of the endless Taiga forest, and the fierce strike to your lure or streamer from the pike that is raging at the end of your line. Or how about the midnight-sun that will not go down over the never ending rapids of the mighty River Muonio, and your fly is drifting down the pool waiting for that hungry salmon to come along and make your day perfect! It just does not get any better than this!

Fishing in Lapland is an absolute bucketlist item for many fishermen or -women. Forests and lakes without end, mile after mile of winding streams and impressive rivers. Impressive animals like bears, moose, reindeer, eagles, beavers etc. It all adds to the beauty of this place. The Tornio River system is the longest, free running river in Europe of 540 km. It travels south from the northern mountains to the Baltic Sea. There are no dams, powerstations or constructions that obstruct this long free and wild river. It offers a perfect variation of calm parts and faster rapids which are perfect for the local fish.

In all you catch salmon, sea trout, grayling, pike and perch. You decide what you want to fish for. And you can do that by fly or by lure. There are some simple rules for fishing in this beautiful and fish filled river system.

This river system forms the border that divides Sweden from Finland. On an island, in the part named River Muonio, you will find this incredible fishing location. With Sweden on one side and Finland on the other, there is an abundancy of fishing-spots everywhere in the surrounding lakes and rivers.

On this location we organize high-quality, full-package fishing adventures where professional guiding is included to give you the best chance to catch your dreamfish. To ensure a great and sustainable fishing experience there are limited fishing permits sold each day.

During your fishing week you will visit several different interesting hot-spots depending on your preferred type of fish. They can be either in Sweden or in Finland. Next to the perfect fishing spots the guide can inform you about the biotopes and nature of Lapland. On a normal day we leave after breakfast and start fishing. During the day you will eat a lunch-package by the shore. When the guide is finished after 6 hours you can of course keep on fishing. Especially during the evenings fishing can be quite productive as there will be no night. Some spots are better fished from the shore, some from boat, and we will do both.

If you want to further improve your chances of catching salmon you can locally rent a special guide / rower who will take you on his boat to the best mid-stream sections of the river. This old style of fishing is called “harling” and is well known to be a successful method of fishing for salmon. The additional costs for a 3 hour session of harling are € 180,- and is to be paid locally. This should be pre ordered to be sure that it is available for your week. When fishing with two people the guide will take one person in his boat and the other fisherman can continue from the shore and after set periods the fishermen switch from sore to boat and vice versa.

As a measure of sustainability there is no salmon fishing from Sunday 18.00 to Monday 18.00 hours. Luckily there are more than enough other species you can fish for!
