Nuolajärvi

Nuolajärvi is put and take in Gällivare municipality. Gällivare FVO stocks rainbow trout and brown trout. You buy a separate permit for this water — an area permit for surrounding lakes is not enough. The general FVO permit does not apply in Nuolajärvi. Harrträsk and Soulasjön are other stockings.

Species

The main species is planted rainbow trout. The association stocks rainbow trout. Brown trout also lives in the lake. It is the planted salmonids you fish here, not pike in a natural water.

Rainbow trout in a bounded lake often sit close to the bank after a stocking and then spread toward deeper parts.

Fly fishing, spin fishing and bait fishing

Methods we filter on are fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing. Read current gear rules with the permit seller before you pack. Boat motors are often banned in this kind of water — follow the seller, not a forum.

Lures and flies

Small spoons and spinners in silver, white or orange are a common start where spin is allowed. On fly: nymph, pupa and a simple streamer. Scented baits can be banned — that sits with the seller. The tips are general for fishing after planted salmonids.

When they bite

Planted salmonids are liveliest in cool water and just after a restocking. Dawn and dusk often beat high sun. Premiere after the June stocking is decided by the association.

Getting there

The lake sits in Gällivare town, toward Apelqvistheden. Jetties and boardwalks exist. A fishing ban can apply until premiere after stocking. The map pin points at the named water, not at the town centre. Park where it is signed.

Rules

Always check the current rules with the permit seller. The permit is personal. Quota, season and what applies for children change. Bring the confirmation digitally or printed.
