Fishing Stages at AFCS Lodge ( May - September )

 

The Target - only few selected "holiday fishing stages" - fly-fishing and spinning - to let you enjoy fishing in Sweden and "Fly-Casting Courses" to disclose you, at the same time, our own modern and unique technique

Best Value -  “Guiding and assistance" with “difference !

You will enjoy an advantage ! By far better than a common guiding service, Piero Letizia, undoubtedly one of the best fly-fisherman all over the world and unique holder of the most impressive casting technique ever known, will provide you both technical assistance and fishing strategies

The Area - situated in a dreamlike spot - the right place for a fishing-training holiday - the new location is surrounded by gorgeous lakes and rivers populated with a great variety of  fish such as trout, grayling, pike, perch, white fish and salmon, just the ideal catch for any fly-fishing and/or spinning lovers.  Moreover, the reduced quantity of salt in the sea water makes the above mentioned species an easy catch in the sea as well.

 ... a big pike - in a river where it flows into the sea - biting either a deer-haired streamer moved by clever tugs of the fly-line or a stick-bait during its frantic zig-zag spinning rescue,  may certainly be a unique charming experience! ....

The Place - Ottsjön (Föllinge) - located in a strategic position from which we can easily reach famous lakes and rivers in Sweden and in Norway as well: the Gimån (no-kill reservoire), the Hårkan, the Ammerån and the Nowegian Sandola are just some meaningful examples.  In order to get a general idea of their beauty, take a look to some pictures published on this web site.

Nearby cities and distances from Ottsjön:

- Föllinge (road 349) - 12 - Östersund (Airport served) - 83 km - Sundsvall (Airport served) - 267
