General information: The Vormsele Fishery Conservation Area is situated about 40 kilometres north of Lycksele along Rd 363 (towards Sorsele). There are several nice rapids within the area, e.g. Vormforsen, Grundforsen and Linaforsen, all of them in the Vindel River. There are also lakes and meres e.g. Mere Abborrtjärn with put out Arctic char and trout and Lake Nyträsket with perch and pike.

Fishing:
In the current sections of the Vindel River there is good fishing for grayling and trout. If you are lucky and skilled, it is quite possible to land a salmon. In the smooth sections of the river there is mainly lavaret, perch and pike. In Mere Abborrtjärn there is Arctic char and trout. Summer fishing, and also winter fishing, may yield big fish.

Fishery conservation: 
Grayling and trout are put out annually. The fishery conservation area needs your help in order to succeed with its fishery conservation. Therefore respect the existing minimum sizes and do not catch more fish than you can consume as fresh. Watercourses in northern Sweden are nutrient-poor and thus sensitive to extensive fishing.
