FLY FISHING IN ÄLVDALEN – FISHING IN TRUE SWEDISH WILDERNESS
Are you looking for a fly fishing adventure that will live long in the memory? Then come and try the fishing in Älvdalen in northern Dalarna! Try your luck in the area’s various types of fishing waters – there are both flowing waters and enchanting woodland lakes. Our unique location offers a major benefit: the Swedish wilderness is right there on your doorstep! A number of our customers make the return trip from the Mälaren Valley over a weekend, which gives them plenty of time for some great fishing.
WE OFFER FABULOUS FLY FISHING IN THE ÖSTERDAL RIVER
The Österdal River, with its beautiful flowing waters, is the main river in the area. It stretches for almost 20 km between the Åsendammen and Väsadammen dams. The area offers fantastic fishing conditions in magnificent scenery. The river alternates between faster and slower sections of flowing water as it winds its way through the valley.
The Österdal River is predominantly known for its excellent grayling fishing, although it can also offer really good trout fishing. The river, which is generally very easy to wade in, primarily attracts fly fishing enthusiasts. The fishing spots along the river are easy to get to, and a number of shelters and campsites have been built along its route.
MAGICAL EVENINGS BY LAKES AND WOODLAND PONDS
Would you prefer to pitch a tent by an enchanting woodland lake in the dark forests of Dalarna? Nothing can match the experience of seeing dragonflies swarming in the early evening light as your fly line elegantly unfurls over the dark water. There is a wide selection of excellent fishing waters within the Älvdalen fishing conservation area. We can recommend the perfect spots for all types of fishing enthusiasts and all tastes and preferences.
FOOD AND ACCOMMODATION IN THE NEARBY AREA
The area surrounding our magnificent local Swedish wilderness contains restaurants and food stores, and naturally it is also possible to buy fishing equipment. The best place to stay is the Älvdalen Fishing Camp on the shores of the beautiful Österdal River.
