Hej Roger
Salivating already... Of course I am interested I principle.

Option #1
Where is the sand ridge country? Give me some clues so that I can try and
locate it on the map? What river would we fish?
However you know my views about staying in tents. I would prefer an isolated
camp with cabins in case it rains hard.

#2 Miekak:would love to go there although I am told it means a lot of
walking to get to the fishing. And these chars I am longing for. Maybe not
the best value for money and I have also heard comments that there is a lot
more fishing waters in Tjuonajokk. Obviously not for the same species.

#3 all in all: I wanted to go there anyway: my preferred option but I would
strongly suggest for part of the week we take the wilderness package and the
chopper that flies us to virgin waters for a couple of days.

So for me Kulstjongarden it is!
Sorry to stir trouble, Roger, you have obviously dismissed the idea of some
heli fishing from Ammarnas?

Best Regards
Jerome

I must be mad.......
Or it might be the fact that we had a good time this year.

Here goes:
I'm starting to plan for another clave in Swedish Lapland and after some
discussions with Vaughan and Jarmo plus some indications from Myron I have
come up with three alternatives.

#1. We try for a place as remote as possible. We're talking helicopter, as
the only other option would be to walk for two - three days. Usually this
would mean a cost of about US$ 300 per person and the need for tents ( +
expenses for food and permits ). This would either be the sand ridge
country
(so far north that the Arctic Circle is way distant in the south), or the
upper reaches of river Laisan.

#2. We fly in and live at one of the most remote fishing camps in Sweden,
also way north of the Arctic Circle. The price would then amount to about
US$ 585 per person ( + expenses for food and permits ). This alternative
is
the Miekak fishing camp.

#3. We fish an area famous for its excellent fishing and reachable by car.
There are 5 different creeks in the area. Cost? Well, fishing permits of
course and if you feel like living at a mountain resort that can be fixed
but will cost some, whilst tents are more or less free (if you own one).
Also cost for food. This alternative is the area around Saxnas village in
the municipality of Vilhelmina.

All three destinations hold trout fishing and destinations #2 - #3 also
hold
Arctic Char (and #1 if we aim for the sand ridge country).
A week's permit is around US$ 30 for most destinations.

The preferred time for this clave would be the beginning of August.

It's early yet and I thought to ask what interest there might be and in
what
kind of destination. Also, if there is some questions from the interested
I'll
try to answer those.
