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.
.avif)
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.

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

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

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.

“The best thing about fly fishing in Lapland isn’t the fish. It’s the silence between casts.” — The Lapla Fishing guide team.
Book Your Trip
Wild Fish. Each One Worth the Trip.
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.

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.
.avif)
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.
.avif)
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Essential Fly Collection for Swedish Lapland
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".
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.
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.
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 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.
A Nordic classic that mimics the Simpa (sculpin). Its deer-hair head creates vibrations that draw big brown trout out from under heavy boulders
The ultimate "buggy" all-rounder that mimics everything from scuds to caddis larvae and mayflies.
Mimics the slim-bodied mayfly nymphs common in Arctic rivers; perfect for picky fish in clear water.
Known as the "Grayling King," this weighted version is a local powerhouse for Lapland grayling.
ITINERARY

We’ll meet you at the airport or at the hotel. After a quick gear check and briefing, we head straight to a local lake for an evening session. No rush — just your first cast into Lapland waters while the light is still good (and in June, that means until midnight).
Early start on the Vojmån River — one of the last wild rivers in Sweden. The morning is devoted to dry fly fishing. Your guide watches your technique and adapts tactics depending on how the fish are behaving that day.
A 3-hour session at a quiet spot chosen based on what worked yesterday. Vacuum packing of your catch. Transfer to the airport. Most guests are already planning their return trip on the drive back.
Airport transfer, check-in, and a full briefing over coffee. Your guide runs through the week: rivers, lakes, weather forecast, what to expect, which flies and streamers. Then an easy evening session on a local lake to shake off the journey and get into the fishing mindset.
One of the few beautiful, fishy wild rivers left in Europe. The morning is dedicated to getting to know the river, finding fish, and presenting dry flies and streamers. After lunch, we switch to nymphing in deeper runs.
Lake Storuman is over 60 km long, holding strong populations of Arctic char, Lake Grayling, Brown Trout, Whitefish, and Pike. A comfortable boat with a large casting platform and low freeboard makes fly fishing a pleasure for any angler. Garmin LiveScope helps locate feeding fish. Lunch on the water.
We drive along forest tracks to small rivers that appear in no guidebook. These are wild, untouched waters where the fish have rarely seen an artificial fly. Early start, packed lunch, a full day in total silence. This is the day people remember for years.
Late start - this day is built around the evening hatch. Rest in the morning, then head out with the boat at 16:00 to a stretch of lake known for its prolific hatches. As the light changes, the rises begin. Fishing until dark in July means around midnight. This session is one of the reasons fly anglers travel to Lapland.
Free time for a solo morning walk and one last cast. Fish vacuum-packed and ready for travel. Airport transfer. Your guide will already be thinking about which spots to show you next year.

Morning. Preparation and drive to the mountains. 2–2.5 hours on the road. Arrival and settling in at the mountain camp.
We hike and drive along trails to channels between lakes that appear in no guidebook. These are wild, untouched waters where the fish have rarely seen an artificial fly. Early start, packed lunch, a full day in total silence. This is the kind of day you remember for years.
Continuation of the previous day. Enjoying the fishing, the tundra wilderness, the thrill of the catch, and the best memories of the trip.
Last morning in the tundra. Return to the main base. On arrival — rest or fish your favourite local spots at your leisure.

See what it looks like — the rivers, the light, the silence, and yes, the fish. Swedish Lapland at its finest.
INCREDIBLE FLY FISHING IN SWEDISH LAPLAND
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.
“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.”
