Skellefteälven - Mobacken to Parkbron
During the summer months, many fishermen gather along the stretch of the river from Mobacken to Parkbron. In spring, the sea trout migrate up the river and the opportunities for catching really big fish are particularly good. The conditions are equally rewarding in autumn when large numbers of spawning salmon enter the river.
Along the entire stretch there are walking and cycling paths that make it easy to find a place to fish from. There are also fireplaces and shelters set up. Fishing in this part of the Skellefte River is managed by the Lejonström fishing area. A fishing permit is required to fish here.
Downstream of the Park Bridge and out to sea, fishing is free.
In the Skellefte River from the mouth of the river to the dam in Mobacken, the regulations of the Swedish Water Agency apply.
