Hi Gordon.. Vaughan, Riverman

Luleå, that's my "neighbourhood". I live 130km south of Luleå, but I
spent the whole autumn,
august to november, in Luleå. I did some flyfishing during my stay. Although
I already had some
ideas on where to go fishing, I started out talking to some guys in the
local fishing shop. For daytrips
they recommended Råne River (in swedish: Råneälven), being the closest spot
for decent
streamfishing for trout & grayling. It's about an hour of driving away,
north of Luleå. The Luleå
flyfishing club has an exclusive stretch for members in this river. But
that's only 4km out
of maybe 200km, so there's plenty of other spots to choose from. I had good
fishing for char, but
didnt catch any decent sized trouts. But it's a beautiful river and the
trouts are definately in there.

There are of course plenty of other waters too. The Åby River (Åbyälven) and
the Byske
River (Byskeälven) are also good alternatives about an hour of driving from
Luleå, both direction to the
south. Byske River is definately the most well-known of the mentioned
rivers. It's where to go if you'd
be interested in salmons. If trout is the target, any of the three rivers
would be good alternatives, I'd say.

I am also the webmaster of the secretcreeks.com-website, that Vaughan
referrred to.
If you go to www.secretcreeks.com, and click on 'Råneälven' or any of the
other rivers in the left
menu you'll find photos of the rivers. B.t.w., I just established a forum
on this site. Not overly enormous
activity there yet, but if you have more questions regarding fishing in
northern Sweden, please register
a user, post your questions and me, Vaughan or any of the other guys will
answer your questions.

Best Regards
