Aslak’s Early Season Flies for Torne River

Our Baltic Salmon fly selection is based on Kengis Bruk lodge manager Aslak Lund’s recommendations for Torne and Lainio rivers. His experience is that the same flies work also on Byske, Kalix and other salmon rivers in Northern Sweden. Aslak believes in having a limited amount of fly models, but each in a couple of different sizes and weights. This early season selection is inteded especially for high water and colder water, which is typical for June after the spring flood. For warm and low water conditions during summer moths check out Aslak’s Summer Flies for Torne River. He personally prefers weighted tubes, but there are also unweighted plastic tubes available from most of these models.
