SOME INTERESTING TYPES OF FISH
GRAYLING, SALMON FISH, CHAR AND SALMON
The grayling has more and more come to represent something of the fly-fisherman´s favourite catch. Very frequent in the entire water system of the Kalix River. Might reach weights up to 3 kilograms. Various caddis fly- imitations and pups are good choices for the fly-fisherman. The grayling also bites a spinner or smaller spoons.

The salmon trout is generally found in cold and oxygen rich waters through- out the nation. A fish for both the spin- and fly- fisherman. It is frequent in the entire river system, both as sea- migrating and as stationary, and bites happily a fly, a spinner or a wobbler.

The char is the nation´s most typical cold-water fish. It is beautiful but hard to get round. Appears often in schools. Might be found in the upper parts of the Kaitum River. Is preferably caught with small flies and nymphs. The jig fisherman´s favourite catch.

Throughout history, the salmon has been regarded to be the angler´s favourite catch. It is rapidly increasing in the Kalix River, where Jockfall and the Ängeså- River are favourite habitats. A large number of salmons also migrate several kilometres up the Kaitum River, where the magnificent Killinge Fall constitutes the natural stop. The salmon is preferably caught with heavy spoons, wobblers, conventional salmon flies or tube flies.
