It was in the end of June that Michael, myself, and Janne
from Sundsvall went away up to the streams of Jaurekaska
to fish. We tried to fish in a little stream in Arjeplog
the weekend before, with little success and the longing
for the mountains, streams and big Graylings was big. It
was a long drive from Luleå thru the village of Jokkmokk
and into the mountains in the Big Luleå River valley with
the big hydroelectrical plants in Porjus and Harsprånget.
Jaurekaska streams and German fishermen
When we stopped at a lake with crystal clear water, where
the fish was rising. I was inclined to stay and fish this
beautiful little lake but I went with my buddies to the
streams where the big Graylings rise under the Midsummer
sun.
When we arrived at Jaurekaska there were a German camper
with some fisherman that was fishing with spinners for
the big trout that sometimes goes up into the streams
from the big Lakes Langas and Stora Lulevatten. This is
wery big trout up to 20 pounds or more.
It was a bit difficult to figure out what fly to put on
the tippet but after first Grayling the fly fishing was
very good. I was able to put four graylings into my bag,
but I lost a good trout and two Graylings in the rapids.
I got the fish on a beige Klinkhammer in the middle of
the rapids and on a dark sedge fly (caddis fly) in the
beginning of the stream above the rapids.
My friends also got some fish. It was a nice evening with
very good fishing that was night when we stopped fishing.
We walked back to the car, where the Germans where
sleeping in there camper. The drive back to Luleå was a
long and tiresome drive thru the big forests. With the
midsummer sun shining down at us, as it never goes down
in the summer, in this part of Sweden.
