A river that begins at the outlet of Kilversjön, one Swedish mile south-east of Arvidsjaur, situated in the heart of Lappland, and flows into Byske 3 Swedish miles north of Skellefteå. The upper part of Byskeälven is surrounded by magnificent wilderness, with wild animals close at hand. The river’s catchment is in forest country and water levels may vary. The main channel is divided into three different sections. The upper section:This section is home to trout and grayling. It consists of large boulders with deep pools and many fine lies. The grayling grow large here and this is where you have the chance of your dream grayling. The trout also grow large with the help of the catch-and-release stretch running from Kliverdammen to Graunaforsen. Wading can be difficult here because the bottom consists of large boulders and deep holes. The middle section:Changes to large slow pools and gently flowing water. Here, targeted fishing for large pike and perch can produce good catches. The lower section:This is the salmon’s paradise. Wading is somewhat easier here as the bottom may consist of finer gravel and smaller stones. Rock slabs and deep holes are also present. There are many fine necks and riffles all the way down to the county boundary. Tributaries:The river has three tributaries included in the permit: Kilisån, Bäverån and Fräkenträskbäcken. These tributaries serve as nursery areas for smaller fish and are often very shallow. Look for fish in deeper water in the main channel. The fishing conservation area includes: Byskeälven: the Kilver–county boundary stretch at Kåtaselet; Kilisån: the Bokselholmen–Byske älv stretch; Bäverån: the Metarkläppen–Byske älv stretch; Fräkenträskbäcken: the Svanträsk boundary–Byske älv stretch. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15. Only in the company of a guardian/adult; children under 16 fish for free in their guardian’s company.
