About this water

One of the world's most famous Atlantic salmon rivers on the Norway-Finland border. Wild salmon of enormous potential size in a remote Arctic setting. Strictly managed—quota systems and restricted access are in place for good reason. Fishing window is short: late June to August. Midnight sun and the chance at genuinely large salmon make this bucket-list water.
