Fishing, lakes and streams

Hemavan and the surrounding parts of Storuman Municipality offer a wide range of fishing waters, from easily accessible lakes near roads and settlements to more remote mountain waters reached on foot or by snowmobile in winter. Here, you fish in clear waters with healthy stocks of Arctic char, trout and grayling – and in some locations, perch.

Many fishing waters are located near hiking routes such as the Kungsleden and local mountain trails, making it easy to combine fishing with hiking. During summer, fishing benefits from long, bright evenings, while autumn offers clear waters, a calmer pace and powerful nature experiences.

Several fishery management areas operate in the region, actively working with stock preservation, accessibility and long-term sustainable fishing – ensuring consistently high-quality angling opportunities.

‍Syterbäcken – water as part of everyday life in Syterskalet
‍In Syterskalet, the Syterbäcken stream forms a natural thread through the area. It winds through the valley, connecting nature, movement and shared spaces. Planning ensures the stream is preserved as a living feature, with walking paths, bridges and resting areas allowing people to follow the water through the landscape.

Water management and ecological values are a key part of the design programme. The stream and its surroundings are preserved and integrated into the area’s layout to create an attractive environment while supporting natural water flow, ecosystems and biodiversity.

As Syterskalet develops, it becomes a place where water, fishing and nature are part of everyday life – while the wider Hemavan Tärnaby mountain landscape, with its lakes, rivers and streams, remains accessible for longer excursions and adventures.
