Subject: A unique program in Lögde River gives big catches
Guided Fly Fishing in Southern Lapland.
Lögdeälven - Lögde River is the southernmost Salmon-River in
Southern Lapland close to the town of Umea.
Contrary to many other larger rivers in northern Sweden it is not normally
touched by too fluctuating water levels. This makes the river ideal
for angling most part of the summer season.
Lögde river holds sea trout and Atlantic salmon, brown trout and
grayling.
The spawning runs from the Baltic Sea reach 250 km upstream into
the Lögde River.
Since the addition of a working fish ladder (tunnel) the fierce falls of
Fallforsen some 100 km upstream is no longer a barrier to the
spawning migration and has added some 150 km for spawning.
It is in that area You will find a 20 km wide area of
brown/sea trout fishing (also some salmon but probably
too few yet to be the only target).
There is also grayling.
This was one of my personal fishing destinations when I was a kid.
The still vivid memories of a shiny 15kilo Atlantic Salmon, and of all the smaller
"Stenbiten" - as we locally called the trout in the smaller rivers round it, call me
now to return.
The sea trout is locally called "Slåttansbörting" and are 2-5 kilo fish.
The fishing is mostly C&R.
To this comes good quarters at Kärringbergets Fishing Camp, Gammelgarden, a fishing camp,not far from a moose farm with live moose to stalk at your own convenience, and a moose museum with a Gourmét kitchen.
Fishing packages:
Fishing including all lodging, meals, guiding etc. begin at £250 /
person and day. A variety of options including hotel etc are available.
Please inquire about other arrangements at:

Fishing guides are Harry Salmgren, Nicke Romanenko and Calle Holmqvist.
To enhance the fishery, a scientific program was
developed .
In this area it is the first scientific stocking program to use radio-tagged fish in
Sweden.
This was to determine if the habitat was ideal for a program
with supplementary stocking over a short period of time to raise the
future population of brown trout.
A newly released report has shown some very positive results.
It has also been confirmed that this habitat, which from a scientists
view is very similar to the habitats in the Kola peninsula where big
trout thrive in large numbers, really is suitable for a much larger
number of fish than local anglers have allowed in the past prior to a
C&R program in this area in Lögde River was developed.
This initial "strengthening" of stock is therefore not planned to
continue, because as the report and biological data have shown,
there will be no need for it in the future.
The fish do thrive in the area.
Furthermore there are vast areas of wilderness around, with a large
system of lakes ideal for pike. A fish regarded as trash fish there and not
fished on at all. So hefty giants lurk there just waiting for your fly!
To this comes the unique co operation with the Saami people that in future
will allow some visitors to fish previously not fished areas in a
Helifishing program.
There the fish are brown trout, and char mainly at about 2-3kilos.
Packages are available.
