The first salmon!
I have got some information that the first salmon has been caught in Onka. There was some guests from Italy that caught a 90 cm salmon yesterday in zon 2, Onka. I have been fishing for grayling during the weekend and have caught some fish. There has been a good average size between 35 and 40 cm. The flies that have been working is "E-12" and " Royal Wulff". The fish has been pretty hard to catch and was not so active with feeding in the surface but if we just get some sun, warm weather and hatching mayflies that behavior will disappear.

Bad roads!
After a few days of heavy raining has it finally stopped. Some roads along the river are now in very bad condition so be careful when you are driving and park your car where there is space. The road to Onka on the east side will be prepared as soon as possible. Now the parkinglot is about 300 m on the road, not 800 m like the sign says.
I have also transported some firewood to Onka and Repolantoo so now there is a lot of it there! I have also cleaned the area from garbage and it was not a funny look. Please leave the place as it was when you got there och take your garbage with you when you leave. It looks so terrible when there is garbage and junk all over the place!
The waterlevel is starting to get higher after the raining and every day along the river is salmon spotted jumping in the river. There is also a lot of grayling feeding on caddis and mayflies, especially in the evenings. I was out fishing yesterday and caught two grayling on a small black tube.

New start at the season!
We have started to work and fix everything for the season coming up. We have a new part of Lainioälven that is about 11 km long and that means a lot of work.
- Building fireplaces
- Renovating windshelters and cabins
- Making signs for every fishingzon
- Transporting firewood
- Preparing the roads that are in pretty bad condition
We have already started with the signs and the look like this. We will put them up along the river during the week.
That is just a part of what we are going to do and we must also fish the stretch to see how the fishing is.
Now at the camp we have a trainee from ForshagaAkademin in Värmland called Erik Axner. He studies sportfishingtourism and a part of his education is a traineeperiod. He will be here all summer, actually to september and will work and fish along the river all day long. He will also be updating this blog regulary with news about the stretch and the fishing.
He was out fishing yesterday at zon 2, Onka and had a strike but no fish was hooked. There was also some fish active in the streams so they are here!
