The Funäsfjällen area in west Härjedalen is mountain country — high fells, snowmelt streams, and a scatter of lakes and rivers that hold brown trout, Arctic char, and grayling at altitude. The char live in the coldest water; the trout fish better lower down where the rivers slow enough for insects to hatch properly in July and August. It's the kind of terrain that rewards walking rather than driving, because the best water is usually away from the obvious access points. Long summer evenings, fell landscape, fish that aren't spoiled by pressure.
A patient day, if you fancy it
Glassy and bright — hard work without a breeze. A flat lough is a quiet lough — wait for the breeze.

How to fish it · for brown trout
When
June–August
Where
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or a slowly-fished nymph tends to out-fish an active retrieve.

The plan
Plan A
With limited drift, anchor or fish static from sheltered positions. Work a bushy searching pattern on the bob and drop a contrasting nymph on the point. In the calm, a single dry fly or a slowly-fished nymph tends to out-fish an active retrieve.
Plan B
If the main plan is not working, switch to a smaller, more imitative pattern fished slower and deeper. A change of drift angle can also make a difference.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.
