Ullatti FVOF

The main fishing water around Ullatti is the salmon-bearing river Ängesån , which receives water all the way up from the mountain world. This means that the water is cold and rich in oxygen where salmonids thrive.

The Ängesån is shallow for long stretches with a gravel bottom, the river is therefore suitable and is also well known for fly fishing with a dry fly. Larger salmon or trout are usually found in the deeper parts and deep pits. The shallower reaches of the stream hold very nice populations of grayling. Calm stretches and the many coves that are found after the river harbor pike, which can be quite an adrenaline-inducing experience to catch on the hook.

The water comes via two streams, Vettasjoki and Valtiojoki a few kilometers upstream of Ullatti. The river is full of so-called meanders ("curves") and the deep furrow can therefore move from year to year. Deep pits appear and disappear when the ice melts, which can be dramatic and well worth a visit. The ice release normally takes place around May 10.

Ängesån winds its way down towards the coast. Linafallet is the place where the Linaälven joins the Ängesån in a spectacular waterfall which, with its 16 meter drop height, boasts as Norrbotten's highest waterfall. You can get to the falls via the road towards Hakkas, the exit road is just after the village of Satter. It can be mentioned that the more famous waterfall Jokkfall has a drop height of 9 meters...

The Ängesån receives water from several watercourses after the road and is at Överkalix a wide and impressive river that joins the Kalixälven there. No expansion of hydropower exists in these systems.

In and around Ullatti there are a number of smaller streams and also several lakes, some of which can be challenging to get to. The lakes are usually stocked with pike and some carp, there are also lakes with perch
the streams, some of which are protected, can harbor fine stocks of trout.

To try this, it is recommended that you contact the Ullatti fishing association.
