Storseleby and the Vojmån River Region

Storseleby can be located by following the route to Storsele and considering the nearby Vojmån River region. Järjagården is on a hill at the end of the village; the Vojmån is 2 km from Järjagården. These reference points help distinguish the village from the wider area: the village provides a specific point of reference for your arrival, while the river is a regional focal point for the landscape and fishing. If you are looking for holiday accommodation in Storseleby, you can first consider whether you want your travel plans to focus mainly on the village itself or the Vojmån region.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

From Vilhelmina, drive 26 km along the E45 towards Storuman, then turn left towards Storsele. After another 2 km, Järjagården is on the right, on a hill at the end of the village. Check the road conditions before setting off. Storseleby is also marked on a 2012 map of the Vojmåns FVO. The route description explains how to get there via the turn-offs, while the map entry shows where the village name is located on a map.

The Vojmån in the Regional Setting

In the wider region, the Vojmån is one of the last larger, partially undisturbed rivers in Lapland. The river is about 65 km long and drops 80 m along its course. Rapids, fast-flowing stretches and tranquil river pools alternate along the Vojmån. This creates a striking contrast between moving water and quiet pools within the river landscape. For you as a traveller, this variety is a concrete reason to consider the character of the wider area when planning your trip.

The River Region and Fishing

The Vojmåns FVO covers almost the entire Vojmån between the Vojmsjöns FVO and the Volgsjöns FVO. Fly fishing and spinning are considered particularly promising fishing methods on the Vojmån; grayling fishing is considered the best fishing on the river. In the area closest to Järjagården, fly fishing is the main fishing technique on the Vojmån. The regional overview thus mentions several promising methods, while the nearby reference point highlights fly fishing. If fishing is part of your travel plans, check the current conditions and regulations before you fish, as both can change.

Järjagården and Choosing Where to Stay

Järjagården provides a second point of reference in addition to the route. It was operated as a youth hostel and restaurant. The Friday dinners there brought people together to share a meal and spend time together. This adds a social dimension to the region’s landscape and fishing. When choosing holiday accommodation, you can consider a practical question: should your trip focus mainly on the river landscape and fishing, or would you also like to take into account the social dimension represented by the Friday dinners at Järjagården? Then compare your decision with the specific location of each option.
