Lake

above sea level, approx. 100 km north of Kiruna. The two main tributary are the river
Råstoätno in the east and river
Råstoälven in the west. The surrounding area is dominated by sandridges and mires. This
geographical region is in general called the Sandåslandet (Sandridgeland). The far west
part of the lake is located in Norway and is a part of Upper Dividals National Park. There
are no roads leading up to the lake, the lake is only accessible by airplane or hiking and
in the winter by snowmobile or skies.The lake have a nice population of char and grayling and
in the surrounding creeks and rivers brown trout can be caught. The lake have a reputation
among fishermen for it's well sized grayling.
Though the number of insect species are few, still very intensive hatching can take place
and create feeding frenzy among the fish.

usually from the beginning of July to the mid of August. Ice fishing from April to
Beginning of June Equipment,
