Mankeforsen

Powerful stream water for the experienced angler

3 Days at Mankeforsen

Mankeforsen is a part of Vindelälven approximately 40 kilometers upstream from Ammarnäs. Here we fish for trout in stream water and calmer currents on a 10 kilometer stretch. The inlet and outlet of the rapids often offer trout fishing that you will not soon forget. The river is wadeable at Mankeforsen so we fish on both sides of the river.

We stay in the cabin at the outlet of the rapids. The cabin is well-equipped with real beds and a fireplace that ensures we are warm and comfortable regardless of the weather. There is a good barbecue area outside the cabin where we cook most of the food. The accommodation is rented through Destination Ammarnäs.

Mankeforsen returns as a destination in 2027 and is a long-awaited return for you guests and us at Guidecenter. A water permitted through the county administrative board within the Grans Sami village territory.

Day 1

We fly out to Mankeforsen with Fjällflygarna from Biergenis in the morning. Once there, we move into the cabin and get ready for fishing. The summer light gives us the opportunity to adapt to the fish's feeding periods and our own energy. When it gets a little darker, the larger fish often come out just outside the cabin.

Day 2

Depending on conditions, we fish in the nearby area or hike up to the inlet and try exciting dry fly fishing for large trout. The fishing in the area around our base camp is very good, so you don't have to spend time hiking if you don't want to. The important thing is that we have a good time. Of course, we cook the food over an open fire outside the cabin 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 in the vicinity or a little further away if we have the energy. After lunch we pack everything up for the helicopter trip and clean the cabin. When everything is ready, we continue fishing in the nearby area until it's time to fly home.
