Visiting Sweden this summer, need help

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

Fly fishing - Fish Better

I'm planning way ahead but thought I would start getting a little info now. I'll be visiting the in-laws in Jakobsberg, close to lake Mälaren and also at their summer home in Hälsingland on the Ljusnan river in August. Would like to know about fly fishing opportunities in these areas or maybe day trips close to them. I've kayaked the Ljusnan a lot around Järvsö but haven't fished there before. I've also heard about a flyshop in Jakobsberg, which might also be a good source for tips and can point me to a good guide. Any info will be much appreciated! Tack! - Don

Thanks for the PMs, I'm leaving for the airport now. Looks like some brown trout and pike action on the Ljusnan. Bringing some wire tippets. I'll be downstream of Järvsö a few miles so if your in the area and see a longrodder, stop and say hi. - don

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
