Fly Fishing in unbelievable scenery for true Wild Brown Trout.
On this holiday you will not only get to experience the great waters around Camp Gauto and Arjeplog centre but also take helicopter and sea plane flights to remote lakes, rivers and streams, that are just teaming with fish. In this job you get to see a lot of great places, but due to time you do not usually revisit for personal trips. But I can honestly say when I get the time this is one of those special places I must go back to. From your base camp at Camp Gauto you will have trips to unspoiled rivers amongst arctic tundra. You will spend nights in a Sami tent camped at the bottom of a mountain range surrounded by one of the best clear mountain river streams you will ever see.
Fly fishing for true wild Brown Trout in Camp Gauto's privately owned waters, where you will find streams and shallow water totally unspoilt. With the midnight sun and so many fishing opportunities you will want to fish 24hrs a day and probably require a holiday at the end of it. Every season true wild Brown Trout are caught over 3 kilo, often on dry fly. You cannot get any purer than that, just a fly fisherman's heaven. Lake Gauto is a part of the Lais river system in Swedish Lapland. Our site lies right on the top end as three separate rapid pools empty the upper reaches of the river Lais. Fishing these rapids, pools and back eddies presents you with endless opportunities for different fly methods. Larger Trout and Arctic Char can be found in the lake, you can even catch these fish on the lake's edge only a short walk from your door. Alternatively you can take out one of the many 10 -13 ft boats and explore until you have more energy.
At the end of Lake Gauto it empties into a 1.5km stretch of rapids called the Mark-strmmen, which has Grayling as well as Trout and Char' but beware of approaching too close, these rapids become fierce. South of the river lies a small system comprising of our three private lakes, Loppsjon, Baversjon and Strandsjon. Here you will find calm and seclusion, combined with a first class trout lake.
