Character of the water

Arajaure lies in the cold north — a northern mesotrophic lake.

The surroundings

The lake lies half-remote, a fair way from the nearest road, tucked into woodland.

Shallow throughout (max 3 m), with reeds and vegetation over large areas — water that warms fast in spring.

  • Trout & Arctic char: protected during the autumn spawn · catch-and-release on certain stretches.
  • Handheld tackle only. Respect the protected zones at the inlets and outlets.

In the clear water Arctic char picks its moments — wary, but relentless once committed.

Fishing Arajaure

The species list of Arajaure runs to 1. The predators — Arctic char — hunt where the baitfish gather, and on a water this size you soon learn where it holds its fish.

Every session at Arajaure is fished in whatever conditions hold right then — the same pressure, wind and light as over the real water. What bites today isn't what bit the day before, and those who return learn the water for real.
