Hi fellow bushy's,

I am planning a trip to bengtsfors in sweden around the end of may begining of june for a week (possibly longer). from what i can tell teh weather should be OK around this time and before the holiday season realy gets underway so should be a little quiter ! is that correct ? what are the midges/mozzy's like around this time ? much of a tick problem ?

I am planning on hiring a canoe from..

Has anybody had any experience using these guys ?

I am planning on flying into Gothenburg with ryan air to the city airport (gse) if anybody has flown here before what are the links like to get to the main city of Gothenburg ? i intend on using public transport to get to Bengtsfors. If anybody has any tips or sites etc that i can use to check transport costs and variations i.e coach/trains etc it would be much appreaciated.

The plan is to start on lelangen and scoot around vastra silen and ostra silen for the week before returning. i will be taking fishing gear with me but if anybody has any tips on types of lures and the better lakes to fish on it would be great.

thanks to all that can help out with any info you have all is much appreaciated. :canoe:

Thanks for the reply,

yes had a read of those links and many others from the search function but the threads were more general sweden or traveling from the wrong area mostly from stockholm and at different times of the year. i was after more general info for the perticuler areas im heading to.

Thanks for taking the time though :cool:

Mozzies are getting stsrted, but should not be *too* bad yet. If you are just staying in the main lakes you are ok with just a canoe, but if you want to explore smaller lakes in the area a cart will allow you to easilly portage several km along dirt roads.
