The trout is of a natural strain that comes up from its breeding area in Storvindeln, to the streams between Kraddsele and Ammarnäs to spawn. Handle these trout with respect and great care! This of course also applies to all other species that are to be released back! Handle all fish with care and great respect, for our future generations. Thanks!

The entire ... Kraddsele’s stretch of the wild and beautiful national river Vindelälven begins approx. 7 km below Ammarnäs and extends 16 km downstream. 11 km consists of currents and 17 rapids of varying size. The entire stretch lies parallel to road 363 and is readily accessible. The area offers varied and very good fishing for large grayling and large trout. The fishing for large trout in Kraddsele’s part of Vindelälven is fantastic, with an average weight of 3,22 kg (2024). The Järnfors stretch is Kraddsele’s large-trout paradise and can readily be named the hottest lies for Ammarnäs trout. The number of fishing spots for Ammarnäs trout offered by Kraddsele, and the catch statistics for them, are exceptional in terms of trout caught per fishing day. Grayling fishing is also very good along the entire 16 km stretch of wild, beautiful Vindelälven offered by Kraddsele. A special initiative has been made to further increase the number of trophy grayling caught in the area. The initiative appears to have succeeded, as increasingly larger grayling are reported each year. The area contains a quota-limited special stretch for fishing for Ammarnäs trout, and on the general stretch there is also a very fine fly-fishing stretch. Although the spinning angler has plenty to choose from, it must be acknowledged that it is perhaps above all the fly angler who finds their goldmine in the Kraddsele area. The fishing rules within the management organisation are based on sustainability, with both catch and size limits and quotas on the number of anglers among the applicable rules. The purpose is as simple as it is obvious—to guarantee a fish resource that is top-class today and can only improve in the future. Within the area there is one or more catch-and-release waters, i.e. the fish are carefully released after capture. Free fishing for children and young people up to and including the age of 15. We safeguard the interests of fishing-rights owners and want to be an important cog in the development and survival of our rural area. The association was formed in 1988 and underwent major change in 2003-2004, when the rules were adapted into more long-term and sustainable rules in which the biological resource (the fish) received strong protection.
