Kengis Bruk
Kengis Bruk is a private beat it’s located on the migthy Torne River, a classic salmon fishing beat, that annually delivers great catch results, throughout the short but intense season.
Opening for fishing on the 2nd full week of June and closes August 31st. There are fresh fish running all season, but you have the biggest chance of a big fresh in the early season.
The Kengis rapids are some of the largest in the river system, which drops 20 meters over the course of a 600-meter run. Both at the top and bottom of the rapids are well known places for big salmon to hold up and rest before continuing their journey upstream.
Kengis Bruk is a historical place that dates back to 1646. The K+ you see in the logo was the symbol on the old coins made in Kengis Bruk. The old school from back in the days is now updated and is accomodation for our guests.
On the riverside you will see old signs of the from the time when Kengis was an iron mill and working with old school forestry.
