Fishing

Tjuonajokk Camp, with the surrounding streams of crystal clear water,
offers one of the best grayling-fishings in the world.
The fishing methods vary, but fly fishing is the most common.


The grayling, the dominant species in these parts, usually prefers a floating fly. The average fish weighs around 700 grams although fish double that size are often taken, especially during the dim of the midnight sun and the real giants can take at any time. The record Tjuonajokk grayling is 2,7 kilograms. The brown trout weigh up to one kilo with the biggest between three to five kilograms.
Char is not so common in the streams, but fish over one kilogram are caught every year. And then there is the lakes themself, for many anglers the most exiting prospect. Here they can catch pike around 10 kilograms and big perch. Spinning or fly fishing with big streamers does the trick. The record for pike is 18.5 kilograms and for perch 1.8 kilograms.
