Dalälven - Älvkarleby great fishing!

The salmon fishing in river Nedre Dalälven in the lower reaches around Älvkarleby has lately been extraordinary. Just durning the Midsummer weekend almost 100 salmons were landed by anglers along the river and the biggest fish weighted 18,6 kilos. Plenty of fish over 15 kegs has been landed almost every day since the big runs started some weeks ago.  

Here is a short report from the fishing office at Älvkarleby from Saturday 22 June:
Another partly overcast day with a comfortable temp approx 21C in the shade, the flow in the river of approximately 250 qubic.m/sek during the greater part of the fishing day. Today was the season's best day with 42 salmon recorded and an average weight of 10.05 kg and the heaviest to date 18.60 kg landed by Mehmet Cigel on fishing spot Korallen. This was his first ever salmon, what a jump-start as a salmon angler! Some other catches: 17.30 kg by Sven Karlsson in fishing spot Skravlet: 16.60 kg Peter Jonson in secret location: 15,5 kg + 7.90 kg Hikmet Isirgan Uppsala on spot Korallen, 14.50 kg Michael Kalin in spot Skravlet, and many other salmon between 4.90 to 13.40 kg this day.
