Spot On - Introduction Guiding
An experienced guide who shows you around the local area
With the help of a good introduction, you save a lot of time in your fishing.
Where should I fish?
Even experienced sport fishers sometimes have difficulty reading new waters and knowing where to spend their time. If you are less experienced, you may spend most of your vacation looking for fish.
The staff at Guidecenter has worked with introduction guiding - Spot on - in Ammarnäs for many years. The guides know their waters and how they change under different water levels and weather conditions. It is this knowledge that you as a guest get to share during the guiding.
We tell you where to spend your time whether you are fishing for grayling, char, trout or Ammarnäs trout.
After years of fishing, you can walk straight past certain sections and you as a guest should also do so to get the most out of your time with us in Ammarnäs.

How should I fish?
Step number two is knowing how to fish the sections of our waters where there are fish that are hopefully biting.
Fish are in completely different places depending on whether it is high, low or normal water. When we go through our areas, we point out various good places in detail. If a place doesn't work, we tell you where you should try instead, because you can't always just go out and catch fish. A little work is required and it's probably lucky that it is so to keep the interest up.
We also usually talk a bit about what equipment is best for different places and different fishing techniques.
Which flies should I fish with?
The final piece to make fishing work is using the right flies. For the most part, a group of flies works well for several weeks, so it's mostly about which flies to bring when you go out fishing.
We know what we're talking about and have fished with hundreds of different patterns over the years. The best flies are of course for sale at Guidecenter so it's always possible to supplement your fly box.
Depending on whether you will fish for trout in streams or in a mountain lake, grayling in Tjulån, char or Ammarnäs trout, you must adapt your fly choice and we go through the patterns that apply at the time for the fish you have in mind.
A normal Spot on takes about two hours and then we cover the lower parts of Tjulån and Vindelälven within Ammarnäs FVO. If you want us to take a trip up Vindelån or further down Vindelälven, we naturally do that, but expect it will take a little more time. Ask us if you are unsure.
