Ullatti fiskevårdsområdesförening Fishing rules for waters managed by the Ullatti fishing area association General fishing rules A valid fishing license and valid identification must be presented. For children up to 12 years of age, free fishing is offered between June 1 and August 31. For this to apply, the guardian must be aware of these rules and regulations as well as the conditions that appear on the information on the page for purchasing a fishing license for children and young people. Fishing is only permitted with hand gear, so-called "jerk fishing" is strictly prohibited! All fishing with fixed gear, e.g. nets, traps, etc. is not permitted. Fishing with a trolling or casting line with more than three hooks is not permitted. Fishing with otters or comparable gear is not permitted. Lakes All fishing should be done with caution and respect for sustainable fishing. Consideration must absolutely be given to cottage and property owners. Running water Fishing from a boat is not permitted. Fishing with natural baits (worms, shrimp, bait fish, etc.) is not permitted. All winter fishing such as ice fishing/ice flotation is not permitted. The tributaries Myllyjoki and Mailiojoki These waterways are so-called "nursery areas" for trout and salmon fry and are therefore not open to fishing. Trout and salmon fry grow up in the watercourses and after a few years move out to larger waters. When adult fish return to the stream/streams, a single female can become the parent of several hundred fish. Protecting play and growth areas is therefore a very important part of our efforts to build up the trout and salmon stocks in the Ängesån water system. Tributary of the Pierujoki River All trout caught must be released, see above about Myllyjoki and Mailiojoki. Salmon fishing Minimum dimensions 50 cm Hand-held fishing for salmon is permitted from June 1 to August 31. All salmon caught after this date must be released back into the watercourse. Only 1(one) salmon per angler per day may be caught and kept. The annual quota is 3 salmon per fishing license. Trout fishing Only 1 (one) trout per angler per day that is between 30 cm and 45 cm may be kept when fishing. Hand-held fishing for trout is permitted between June 1 and August 31. From September 1st to October 14th, the trout are protected during their spawning season. This protects both growing fish, smolt, and larger spawning fish that have migrated up from the sea. Grayling fishing A maximum of 5 (five) fish with a minimum size of 35 cm may be kept. Grayling fishing with hand gear is permitted except in winter and from April 15 to May 31. Was the fishing better before? .. well, maybe it was, but we are working to rebuild the tribes. If you would like to contribute your bit, please contact someone on the Information Board. In addition to the above rules, National rules apply, these take precedence. The above rules apply until further notice and may change during the season. You are responsible for checking what applies before you start fishing. The County Administrative Board and HaV can provide more information. (www.lst.se, www.havochvatten.se).

The principal fishing water around Ullatti is the salmon-bearing river Ängesån, which receives water all the way from the mountain region. This means that the water is cold and oxygen-rich, where salmonids thrive ... The principal fishing water around Ullatti is the salmon-bearing river Ängesån, which receives water all the way from the mountain region. This means that the water is cold and oxygen-rich, where salmonids thrive. Ängesån is shallow for long stretches with a gravel bottom; the river is therefore suitable for, and also well known for, dry-fly fishing. In the deeper parts and deep pools, larger salmon or trout usually stay. The shallower flowing stretches have very fine stocks of grayling. Calm stretches and the many bays along the river hold river pike, which can be quite an adrenaline-inducing experience to catch on the hook. The water comes via two flows, Vettasjoki and Valtiojoki, some Swedish miles upstream of Ullatti. The river is full of so-called meanders ("curves") and the deep channel can therefore move from year to year. Deep pools arise and disappear when the ice breaks up, which can be dramatic and well worth a visit. Ice break-up normally occurs around 10 May. Ängesån winds down towards the coast. Linafallet is the place where Linaälven joins Ängesån in a spectacular waterfall which, with its 16 metres of drop, boasts Norrbotten's highest waterfall. The falls can be reached by the road towards Hakkas; there is a turn-off shortly after the village of Satter. It may be mentioned that the better-known waterfall Jokkfall has a drop of 9 metres... Ängesån receives water from several watercourses along the way and at Överkalix is a broad and impressive river, where it joins Kalixälven. There is no hydropower development in these systems. In and around Ullatti there are some smaller streams and also several lakes, some of which can be challenging to reach; the lakes usually have stocks of pike and some cyprinids, and there are also lakes with perch. The streams, some of which are closed, can hold fine stocks of trout. To try this, you are recommended to contact Ullatti fisheries management association. In the area there is one or more water for catch-and-release, that is, the fish are carefully released after capture. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 12 years. Only between certain dates and/or periods; see fishing rules. Children/young people must be able to fish independently (cast/reel/fish themselves). A guardian must have read and approved the applicable fishing rules and regulations. To promote interest in fishing among our youngest, we have introduced free fishing from 1 June-31 August for children up to 12 years. Non-profit fisheries management association.
