Lapland clave 2004

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.

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:

On the mountain side, it says "Gautostugan". Once you find the cabin the
lake is the closest one to the north.

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

I plan on starting the clave on the 2:nd but will stay to at least the 10:th
in order to fish with the late arriving Vaughan Hurry.

to
go fishing?

It is 500 meters to the river. You know best yourself how much walking up
and down the stream you would want to do.
If you dont mind walking, for say an hour, there is an abundance of waters
to be visited.

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 know and have planned it so that one of the beds in the cabin is for you.

Well the area is vast and the fishing normally good (if the weather and
water levels are OK).
However, the cabin doesn't take more than 5, after that we are using tents.
