Our national river, the Vindel river, runs through Kraddsele and is particularly beautiful and has excellent stocks of large trout’s and grayling’s.
The famous Ammarnäs trout swims here. A beautiful trout with an average weight around 3,7 kg. The Ammarnäs trout migrate from Storvindeln up to the Ammarnäs/Kraddsele area to spawn.
They are wild and aggressive, and ready to empty your reel. It truly is a fantastic experience to feel the power of an Ammarnäs trout!
