I see posts regarding Swedish Clave, have some FF miles
to burn in a worthy pursuit. Destination water and dates
info would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Jerry,

The same river as last years clave, river Laisan, only 100 kilometers
further into the mountains. We will rent a Saami cabin located in the area.
The cabin is located 500 meters from the river and has 5 beds, a kitchen and
a sauna. The cabin will do fine as a meeting place and a place for attendes
from far away to live. The rest of us will have to live in a tent. We have
several extra tents. We will all be sharing the cost for the cabin as we
will be using it for a meeting place. The idea is to fish in three waters;
River Laisan (brown trout only), Hurrasjokk creek (brown trout only) and
Blassajaure lake (Arctic char and brown trout). We're not likely to meet any
other people, but in worst case there will still be more than 60 kilometers
of running water and two lakes on the permit (actually two dozen more trout
and char waters if you don't mind walking). We will be flying with a
helicopter from Adolfstrom village. If we can get 10 attendes, the sum total
for this trip (with food, permit and gas costs) leaving from Umea in north
Sweden will be approx US$350. You will have to plan for a week since we
won't be able to have the helicopter fly back and forth at will. August 2 -
August 10. If three or more can decide on other dates then you should be
able to share a helicopter and make it anything in between these dates.

Attendees so far:

Vaughan Hurry (Tent)
Fred Risberg (Tent)
Roger Ohlund (Tent)
Jarmo Hurri (Tent)
Jerome Phillipon (aka Leaping frog, gets a bed in the cabin)
Myron Buck (aka riverman, gets a bed in the cabin)
Erik Risberg (Tent)
Mike Connor (Tent)

Interested:
Dave LaCourse
Osmo Jauhiainen
Hans Bock
Jeff Miller
John (asadi)

Here are some maps describing the area.

Map2 shows where the road ends at Adolfstrom village and also where the
clave central is:

The flight will be just less than 20 kilometers.

Map3 shows the clave central and the surrounding area.

The distance from the cabin to the river is slightly more than 500 meters.
There's a fresh water spring 20 meters from the cabin.
The lake just north of the cabin holds Arctic char and brown trout.
