SALMON FISHING IN RIVER LAPLAND SWEDEN
The area is dominated by the river Muonio, known as one of the worlds foremost Grayling and Brown trout rivers, the whole area is home to 5 of the most productive Salmon rivers in the world , this area is known as River Lapland . During the main Salmon runs all the rivers are wade able and offer the fly fisherman some of the best river conditions anywhere in Europe.
Clients can fish round the clock if they wish as the sun never really sets....
Salmon and sea-trout run 300kms up the Muonio River from the Baltic and it has grown to become the most important Salmon river on the Baltic sea. It is said by those fishermen who know both rivers to be better now than the famous Guala river in Norway , which is high praise indeed.
Due to net bans and must stricter regulation of the commercial fishing in the Area , catches on the Muonio have increased year on year and it is estimated that by 2007 they will be back to the quality of the record years of the 1920s.

The local method for catching salmon is Harling from boat with spoon or lures , but due mainly to the advent of travelling foreign anglers fly fishing is fast becoming the most popular method .Fly Fishing for salmon still demands a lot of patience and skill.
The size of the salmon runs from 5 kg - 15kgs but in the past two seasons several fish have been taken up to 30 kgs.
As well as the Salmon, Grayling and Trout fishing. The surrounding wetlands hold tens even hundreds of different lakes so for a change of pace why not try some fly fishing for the many good sized perch and pike that lurk in their depths.

Some of the lakes in the area also hold grayling, trout and arctic char.
