    Autumn Grayling

    Sjöforsen, Övre Sandsele or Mountain Environment

    When autumn truly arrives, all trout fishermen go home and leave our waters open for grayling fishers. Fishing takes place during the day and mostly with small black dry flies. The closer we get to ice formation, the better the fishing usually gets, so make sure to book an extra trip to Ammarnäs this autumn.

    After September 14, Sjöforsen costs no more than 200 SEK per person per day, which must be seen as a real bargain for grayling fishers. The grayling usually stand in hundreds on the rapids, most of them large and autumn-fat, and offer fantastic dry fly fishing.

    If you want to go to the mountain environment or try waters like Övre Sandsele, we at Guidecenter are happy to help with guidance and guiding.

    Tjulån

    Tjulån from Guidecenter to Tjulträsk

    Tjulån equals good grayling fishing. The lower part of Tjulån flows past Guidecenter on its way to Gautsträsk. The estuary area downstream of Guidecenter offers excellent fishing throughout the season. This is where you get to feel the first grayling when they begin their migration up the stream after spring floods.

    Walking Along the River

    Upstream from Guidecenter we fish a stretch of about four kilometers before the large stone rapids stop the lower part of Tjulån. There are many good spots on this part of the stream. The easiest way to reach the area is by parking at Ammarnäs FVO's woodshed and then crossing the suspension bridge.

    On the south side of the stream you can walk all the way up and reach all the fine sections where the grayling stand.

    We guide throughout this entire stretch.

    Vindelälven

    Vindelälven from Sjöforsen to Järnforsen

    Sjöforsen is undoubtedly one of the best places a grayling fisher can be. Large grayling from the rapids and far down the stream. We fish for large grayling in Sjöforsen all season, but it is autumn fishing that is closest to our hearts.

    More Great Spots

    Downstream from Sjöforsen to the end of Ammarnäs FVO (Above Järnforsen) there are many good places for grayling fishers. Ottosmoraselet, Nedre harabacken and Above Järnforsen are just three places that grayling fishers should keep in mind.

    We guide throughout this entire stretch.

    Grayling Inland

    Kraddsele, Övre Sandsele & Giertsbäcken

    Kraddsele & Övre Sandsele

    Vindelälven from Järnforsen to Övre Sandsele

    From Järnforsen, Kraddsele SFF takes over and the fishing is at least as good downstream from Ammarnäs FVO and is a must for those who are after grayling and Ammarnäs trout. Come to us at Guidecenter and buy your fishing license while we give you tips on good areas to fish in.

    We guide throughout this entire stretch.

    All waters in Ammarnäs are completely unregulated and therefore also sensitive to precipitation. For the most part, this is no problem, but you adapt to the prevailing conditions. If it is not possible to adapt the fishing, we have a number of alternatives a bit inland that offer first-class fishing.

    Giertsbäcken is one of the waters we go to when Tjulån or Vindelälven cannot be fished. Giertsbäcken is both a good alternative but also a water that does very well to fish throughout the season. There are plenty of large grayling in the stream, often over 40 cm, provided you use the right equipment and the right size flies. A step shorter rod (7'6") and dry flies in size 14-16 or smaller are preferable.
