“Kiruna is something of a rarity as a world-class fly fishing destination far north of the Arctic Circle that is easily accessed by train, road and daily scheduled flights. From Kiruna Airport, a twenty minute drive takes you to two of the greatest grayling and brown trout waters in Sweden – the Torne River and the Kalix River, which make up two of Sweden’s four major national rivers. In theory, you could be feeling that tug on the end of the line within an hour of touching down at the airport”.

Hiring a fishing guide can be the key to a successful fishing experience, especially in an extensive area such as Kiruna. The guide will save valuable time by bringing you directly to the right type of fishing water. No need for time calculations or weather forecast checking.

Hiring a guide will greatly enhance your fishing experience. Not only do all fishing guides have their own areas of expertise – fly fishing in highland lakes; stream fishing in the mountains; dry fly fishing in tundra lakes etc. – they also have specialised knowledge of different species of fish.
