BIG SMILES & BALTIC SALMON

 

The nerdy info

  • The Baltic salmon

    The baltic salmon can be tricky time to time. There is many fish in the river and it can feel impossible to hook them, but remember it is a big river, you need to be lucky, work hard and have the fly in the water.

    Kengis is 180km from the sea and some of the fish continues for another 2-300km to spawn. So they are in a hurry.

    But when you hook them they are strong fighters and they have a lot of water to swim in, so remember to check your backing before arrival.

  • Waterflow

    The good thing about Kengis Bruk is that you can always find water to fish.

    It is such a big river that i will never be too low to find running water.

    In the early season we cross fingers for higher water to make the fish stop and in the late season low water sometimes makes the fish stop and at Kengis in higher numbers.

    We have been catching fish in 1000m3 and down to under 100m3.

  • Fish counter

    80 km downstream from Kengis Bruk there is a fish counter that counts how many fish that are crossing. It is a good indication for us to know if the fish are moving in the river, but remember.

    1: Some fish stop before Kengis

    2: The river splits in two (Torne & Munio) before Kengis

    We don’t know exactly how many fish crossing Kengis.

    3: The counter can seem slow, but with the right conditions is does not matter at Kengis. The fish will be there.

  • Striking points

    At Kengis we don’t have pools like you know from many other places.

    We have three zones. One above the falls and two below.

    Each zone has several good striking points (what you might know as a pool from other places)

    The striking points indicates where the fish usually strike the fly, but you can catch fish all over the zones.

  • Weather changes

    It seems like the Kengis salmon likes a change in the weather.

    Sometimes if it has been sunny and it starts to rain, the fish gets active and the other way around.

    Rain will not affect the water level since it is such a big river. Sometimes when we have a lot of rain in the mountains we see a rise in the water level at Kengis.

  • Kengis feeling

    It can be hard to describe and we would say that you need to experience it, but it is all about feeling welcome, included and being at a place where you can forget about the time and focus only on the fishing.

    We do our absolutely best to create the best surroundings for our guests so they can focus 100% on the fishing.
