Laiva 2027
Exclusive water in Vindelfjällen nature reserve
In collaboration with Vindelfjällens Samecenter/Ran Sami village
Experience Laiva
Introduction
Here we fish in running water mainly for large trout. Smaller waters where you sneak after fish that like to cruise along the shores. We stay in tents and cook all meals over an open fire. Laiva is located within Ran Sami village.
It feels really great to be able to offer world-class mountain fishing in Laiva. This is where I once started guiding fly fishing in the mountains.

Base Camp
We stay in a spacious and comfortable tent equipped with wood-burning stoves that keep us warm even during cool mountain nights. The tent has tables, chairs and everything needed to cook and relax after a long day on the water. Here you experience genuine wilderness life combined with modern comfort.
Schedule
Day 1
We fly out to Laiva by helicopter from Biergenis in the morning. Once there, we set up our base camp and prepare for fishing. In summer it is light around the clock so we adapt to the fish feeding periods and our own energy. When it gets a bit darker, the larger fish often come out.
Day 2
Depending on conditions, we fish in the nearby area or go on slightly longer tours to perhaps search for char that takes dry flies in streams. Often the fishing in the area around our camp is so good that you might not want to spend time and energy hiking, we simply take the day as it comes and make sure we are comfortable. Of course, we cook the food over an open fire with a large proportion of local ingredients to optimize life in the wilderness. The coffee pot is never far away.
Day 3
We continue fishing in the morning, or rest if we have been fishing all night. After lunch we pack everything for the helicopter ride back and then continue fishing in the immediate area until it is time to fly home.
