Lars-Åke's Short Stories
I love exploring the dark cellars and dusty attics of history, feeling my way through the darkness, and every now and then discovering forgotten treasures.

The Idsjöströmmen has xx undergone an interesting and astonishing transformation—from a timber transport route to a sterile channel created by log-driving operations, lacking water, insects, and fish, to a prime example of nature conservation that preserves healthy water and a stable fish population. This is the result of restoration, fisheries management, and modern fly fishing, which provide a foundation and assurance of a future environment that continues to thrive and offer a challenging fishing experience.
Idsjöströmmen has been leased by Lars-Åke Olsson since 1989 and has become one of Europe’s best grayling waters, visited by both Swedish and international fly fishermen.
From Östersund Airport, it takes 1.5 hours by car to reach Gimdalen.
