Vittangijokk
Creek is a grayling fishermans dream. It's more like a river allthough
the Same word jokk means creek, this due to the fact that it’s quite
large. Also, the maps speak of Vittangietno further downstream, etno that
comes from the Same language and means river. The upper
part of Vittangijokk from the source Lake Vittangijaure down to Lake
Tahkojaure is fairly wide and alternates between rapids and calmer
stretches. Below Tahkojaure the river gets narrower as it flows through a
flat landscape surrounded by mountain birches and waist high shrubs. The
dense vegetation surrounding the lower parts of the river makes it
somewhat difficult to follow, but it’s worth it since the fishing is
great. Situated directly north of the Esrange Space range is the outlet of the tributary Sekkujokk Creek. From Lake Vittangijaure to the outlet in Torne River Vittangijokk/Vittangietno covers a stretch of 65 kilometres.
