Fishing in Swedish Lapland

Swedish Lapland is known for its fishing and many people come from far and wide to fish in its waters which are suitable for all types of fishing. The area is full of rivers and lakes that are ideal for fishing for all types of fish. The lakes and rivers are known for their purity and fine fishing along with some of the freshest air. The grayling is high in numbers and the most popular sought after fish but there are other species such as the brown trout, whitefish, powan and coreganus spp. The Tana River in Lapland is famous for its Salmon fishing and Salmon fisheries and the river Tana is known as the best Salmon River in Norway and Finland and the largest Salmon caught in 1929 weighed in at a massive 36lb. The Tana River is 348 kilometres long, which makes it the longest river in Lapland

In fact Swedish Lapland offers many unspoiled fishing waters that are full of different species of fish including the char, sea trout and big browns. There are many activities going on in the summer months where you can become involved in some of the best fishing for miles around., Many of the local guides know the areas like the back of their hands and will indulge you in a fishing adventure that you will never forget.

Thanks to local conservation work, the river Atran in Sweden offers some of the best wild Salmon fishing. Fishing tales place right in the centre of town and you can fish for sea trout on the 1stMarch when the season begins. This spectacle draws in the attention of many anglers and bystanders. At the end of April, beginning of May the fresh run Salmon is the catch of the day and by mid June the catch is usually the smaller Salmon and the Grisle which enters the river at about this time. This great fishing can be enjoyed right until late September when the season closes to allow for spawning. The river Atran situated in Falkenburg is located right at the river mouth and is an area that is steeped in tradition and history. There are some great places to stay such as hotels and camp sites and there is also some great accommodation that is situated right by the river.

Lapland and Sweden offer some great fishing and there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy your surrounding areas which are surrounded by beautiful countryside and local attractions.
