The Ammarnäs Trout

Night Guiding with Food from Muurikka

We meet at Guidecenter in the evening and have a cup of coffee while discussing the night's tactics. At Guidecenter we go through fly selection and other important factors to make the night's fishing as comfortable as possible.

When everything is in place, we head down to the river with rods and muurikka under our arms. Your guide helps you during the late evening and night hours to the best spots for the day. We eat food and have a good time together during the fishing session.

We cannot guarantee that you will catch an Ammarnäs trout since it is not possible to go down to the river and "fetch them". However, we can guarantee that with our help you have the best possible conditions for success in the summer night.

Day Fishing in Summer

Of course it is possible to fish for Ammarnäs trout in the middle of the day in July, we have shown this several times in recent years. The fish are there!

Some of our guests buy a Spot On guiding that is completely focused on fishing for Ammarnäs trout. Other guests combine Spot On with a few hours of fishing together with one of our experienced guides. By expanding the more theoretical guiding, which Spot On entails, with practical fishing you get a great introduction to fishing for Ammarnäs trout.

Call and talk to us at Guidecenter and we will help you find what suits you best.

Vindelälven

Vindelälven from Sjöforsen to Ovan järnforsen

Sjöforsen is the beginning of Vindelälven and Ammarnäs special stretch. The neck of Sjöforsen is usually the place where we first encounter the Ammarnäs trout at the start of the season. Downstream we find many different spots that hold fish. Most people have their favorite spots that they like to sneak away to, but there is Ammarnäs trout everywhere in the river.

Guordisbäcken, Ottomoraselet, Stryckan, Harabacken and the section above Järnforsen are just some of the places you shouldn't miss when visiting Ammarnäs to fish for large trout.

Our guided tours on summer nights, full-day guiding and Spot on where we go through the fishing area, discuss tactics and fly selection is the best start to get in contact with our large trout. Book in advance if you want to be guided by Ammarnäs most experienced guides.

Tjulån & Vindelån

Tjulån from Storstensforsen to the estuary in Gautsträsk

Tjulån is not well known for its large trout and that's mostly because very few fish for Ammarnäs trout in the river. In the lower parts of Tjulån we always see Ammarnäs trout when we dive inventory and one or two are caught every year. From the lower suspension bridge all the way down to the estuary it's worth spending time if you want to experience the Ammarnäs trout in different water than Vindelälven.

Up at Storstensforsen there are usually also some trout. Especially early in the season it's also possible to catch arctic char in the pool below the rapids which gives this fishing spot an extra dimension. Take the opportunity to try Tjulån and the lower part of Vindelån, at Smedforsen, next time you visit Ammarnäs.

We guide throughout this entire stretch.
