Lapland clave 2004

Hi all,

So, finally I have decided a destination.

After scrapping several different options I've decided to make this clave a
wilderness clave.
The same river as last year, only 100 kilometers further into the mountains.
I have talked to a local guy who has helped me 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.

A couple of pictures from the area as a teaser:

Hi all,

I forgot:

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.

/Roger

roger - plug me in for a probable. still a long ways off for me to make
it a definite. and the therapy necessary for me to be able to fly on a
plane that distance will no doubt require significant time. i'll have to
figure out flights, etc., and will require assistance in determining
necessaries... anyone else on this side of the pond considering going?

Jeff, out of Dayton Ohio I get somewhere around $1300 round trip, using the
dates of Aug 2 and 10.

On down this thread Riverman penned
* - . . . from Stockholm , it cost $10 for a bus ride to Central Station,
where I got an overnight sleeper train to Umea for $79. After the clave, I
took a bus/train combo back to Stockholm for $59, ... It was a very
affordable way to get to Umea, and all.*

Personally, I would spend a night in Stockholm upon first arrival (never
been there) and a night in Umea (never been there either).

....and would plan on two nights in one of those cities 'after' the
clave....a little R&R as it were.

I'm not saying I should be penciled in, but I have a folder for all
pertinent posts....

I am assured of the trip of my choice next year, but you know, I just have
this thing for tropical climes, cold beer and ...stuff.

Hey Rog, how much for a decent, but not fancy hotel and a steak dinner at a
good restaurant in Stockholm or Umea?

Ps. Jeff, I can get your a prescription for muscle relaxers that will
totally eliminate any chance of a blood clot.

Beefsteak costs a bit more. "G" Stockholm has great seafood and Italian food
at very reasonaable prices plus good breakfast buffets. at your hotel.

This might help.

yes, I've been looking too

Ran it past SWMBO last night.

"What would you say if I went to Sweden fishing for ten days of our annual
holiday"

SWMBO "How much?"

""About £600"

SWMBO "***$%££"^*(*)*&"

Translation "No darling"

Hi all,

So, finally I have decided a destination.


Roger,

Magnificent pictures! Tempting really!

Have to see my economic situation. It takes another 300 to 350 euros to
drive by car
from here. If I can get someone with me to share the fuel cost, this might
be possible.
Need time to make decision anyway.

Thanks,
OsmoJ

Ah-ah!,
The great awaited has arrived. Quickly grabbed my BD16 map: found Hurasjahka
creek but not Blassajaure lake? Are you going to give me a pointer to that
cabin? In the valley, on the mountain side?

The date is not currently an issue. 2004 will be weird with a baby in April
and a new job but that does not mean we cannot work it out. Please count me
in for now. The 2nd of August is a Sunday and 10th a Tuesday, did you mean
it like that? How many days of fishing would that be? 1 day to travel from
Umea each way?

How much hiking per day should the "untrained" be reasonably prepared for to
go fishing?
My plans would be to land in Umea where I would hope for a lift from a party
member. My preference - as you already know- would be to stay in the cabin.

I have put some friends on the copy list, should they be interested. Cout
estime: 1000 euros par personne.
