FLY FISHING IN SWEDISH LAPLAND

Experience Fly Fishing in the Untouched Wilderness of LAPLAND

We fish the rivers and lakes of Västerbotten — some of the last truly wild waters in Europe. Small groups. Personal guides. No noise, no crowds. Just the cast, the water, and silence.

Expert Guides, Small Groups

A maximum of 4 guests per tour means your guide can genuinely watch your casting technique, correct your form, read the water with you, and help you land the fish of a lifetime. You, your guide, and a wild river.

THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED PACKAGES

From airport transfers to fishing permits, accommodation, meals, and guiding — we handle everything so you can focus solely on the joy of fishing.

Waters You Won’t Find in Any Guidebook

Our local guides know exactly where the big grayling hold, where wild brown trout feeds at dusk, and how trophy pike attacks your streamer.

COMFORTABLE 
ACCOMMODATIONS

After a long day on the water, return to a cosy apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and unwind in a relaxing sauna. Your trip should be wild on the water and comfortable at the lodge.

What You’ll Catch

Wild Fish. Each One Worth the Trip.

Arctic Char
Salvelinus alpinus

Arctic Char likes cold, deep waters and its quite elusive. Lapland’s char are wild fish in wild places. Up to 6 kg in these waters.

Trophy Pike
Esox lucius

Post-spawn pike in June aggressively hit large flies. A #7–8 weight rod is ideal for fishing the shallow bays of Lapland’s lakes and rivers at sunset.

Grayling
Thymallus thymallus

September is grayling month. Fat, aggressive, and feeding hard before winter. Dry fly fishing can be spectacular on the right day. Fish of a kilogram and above are your standard here.

Lake trout
Salmo trutta morpha lacustris

The classic. A dry fly on a summer evening. Takes that demand patience and precision. Fish up to 12 kg. Brown trout season closes 15 September on most flowing waters.

Brown trout
Salmo trutta fario

This is what you go to the mountains and headwater streams for. Rod: single-handed, #4 or #5, 9 ft — a versatile all-rounder. For nymphing in tight streams, consider a shorter #3.

Whitefish
Coregonus Lavaretus

A dry fly surprise. Whitefish are underestimated by visiting anglers — until the mayfly hatch begins. During a hatch on calm lakes, big whitefish rise aggressively to dry flies.

Month
Conditions
Species
Notes
May
EARLY SEASON

Pike, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Grayling

Snowmelt raises river levels — conditions are challenging, but pike hit streamers aggressively in warming shallows. Brown trout hold in small tributaries.

June
HIGH SEASON

Brown Trout, Pike, Grayling, Arctic Char, Whitefish

Midnight sun. 24 hours of light. Mass insect hatches begin — grayling come up to the dry fly. Pike on large streamers in bays. The dry fly season opens. Midges and mosquitoes — head nets and repellent are essential.

July
PEAK SEASON

Brown Trout, Pike, Grayling, Arctic Char, Whitefish

Warm nights, magical evening rises to dry flies. Peak caddis and mayfly hatches. Grayling respond well to streamers and wet flies in mountain lakes. Expect heavy mosquito and midge hatches — head nets and strong repellent are a must.

August
PEAK SEASON

Brown Trout, Grayling, Arctic Char, Pike

Water cools — fish become more aggressive. Grayling season is in full swing. Nights darken again: prime time for the evening dry fly.

September
GOOD SEASON

Brown Trout, Grayling (absolute peak), Pike, Arctic Char

Grayling feeds hard before winter — the biggest fish of the year take the dry fly. Pike move back onto streamers in cooling water. Brown trout season closes 15 September. Weather can be harsh — dress in layers.

October
LATE SEASON

Pike, Grayling, Arctic Char

Last window of open water. Big pike on large streamers. Fishing amid the incredible autumn colours of Lapland. Deserted waters, no tourists.

The Lapland Fly Box

The Essential Fly Collection for Swedish Lapland

Parachute Adams FLY

The ultimate Arctic all-rounder that mimics a wide variety of mayflies found in northern waters. Its white post makes it easy to track during the long hours of the "Midnight Sun".

Elk Hair Caddis FLY

A staple for Lapland's massive caddis hatches. This high-floating fly is perfect for skittering across the surface of fast-moving tundra streams to trigger aggressive strikes from grayling.

Klinkhammer FLY

Designed to sit deep in the surface film, this is the go-to "emergency" fly when big trout or grayling are rising but ignoring standard dry patterns.

Woolly Bugger STREAMERS

A versatile predator fly essential for the dark, peat-stained waters of the North. Use it to mimic leeches or large larvae in deep pools.

The Zonker STREAMER

The gold standard for Arctic Char. Its rabbit-fur wing "breathes" in the water, perfectly imitating the small baitfish that big mountain trout and char hunt.

Muddler Minnow

A Nordic classic that mimics the Simpa (sculpin). Its deer-hair head creates vibrations that draw big brown trout out from under heavy boulders

Hare’s Ear nymph

The ultimate "buggy" all-rounder that mimics everything from scuds to caddis larvae and mayflies.

Pheasant Tail nymph

Mimics the slim-bodied mayfly nymphs common in Arctic rivers; perfect for picky fish in clear water.

Red Tag Nymph

Known as the "Grayling King," this weighted version is a local powerhouse for Lapland grayling.

Gennadi
Head Fly Fishing Guide · Lapla Fishing

Gennadi has been fishing for over 30 years. He grew up casting on the rivers of Northern Europe and the Americas, and eventually found and moved to Lapland because nowhere else offers such wild, untouched nature and the fish that live in these waters.


He guides anglers from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals, treating everyone with the same patience and dedication. He knows exactly where to find big grayling in September, which lake has never been properly explored, and precisely when the evening rise will start on the Juktan. He won’t just tell you what to do - he’ll show you how fly anglers read the water: where fish might be holding, which nymph or dry fly to use right now, which line to choose, and what presentation will make the fish commit.

Specialisation: Dry fly & nymph. Arctic Char, Grayling, Pike
Languages: English, Russian
Favourite rivers: Wherever they’re biting
Favourite time of year: September (large Grayling)

“I don’t just want you to catch fish. I want you to understand why the fish was there — so next time you can find it yourself.”
