Skikkisjön is approximately 20 km long and is divided into three smaller lakes with channels between the lakes. Within the area there is a smaller lake (Skabbegatt) and several smaller tarns. Large trout, grayling and char are caught annually in Skikkisjön. Large perch and pike are rewarding catches even for the less experienced angler. During winter we offer fine ice fishing for whitefish, grayling, perch, trout and char. Skabbegatt contains large perch and occasionally pike can be caught.

Skikkisjöns FVOF was formed to care for and manage the fishing in part of Skikkibäcken and in Skikkisjön with its tributaries. The area lies within Vilhelmina and Storuman municipalities in Västerbotten. We offer fine fishing in scenic surroundings in undisturbed nature. The principal purpose of our fish-conservation measures is to strengthen and improve the natural stock of large-grown lake trout. We therefore take care that catches of trout and char are handled carefully and that valuable specimens are released back into the water to strengthen natural reproduction. Other measures aim to offer exciting fishing for large pike and big perch.
