Torne älv

Torne älv, in Lappi, Sweden, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Torne älv is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common dace

  When fishing for dace, use light line and small hooks as they are easily spooked; keep your movements minimal.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For European whitefish

  Use a slow retrieve or jigging action, keeping the lure close to the bottom where whitefish often feed; experiment with different depths.
