Skansnäs is located 42 kilometers from Sorsele, on the southern side of the Vindelälven River. The village is beautifully situated on a promontory where the Vindelälven River is at its widest (3.5 km), in Storvindeln. The association was formed in 1983 with the aim of introducing a net ban in all nearby fishing waters and investing in sport fishing. The area borders the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve with its primeval forests near the mountains. The area can be compared to a small Alaska and this hilly, rocky landscape offers a rich flora and fauna. The fishery management work is focused on increasing the natural population of game fish. The current net ban in all lakes is a prerequisite for successful results. All waters within the area are open for fishing with a rod from land and boat. Over the years, the association has built windbreaks at most lakes so that you have a place to pause fishing and relax for a while. Today there are windbreaks at Långtjärn, Nedre Låktaträsket, Bergtjärn and a firehouse at Holmträsket. A windbreak will also be placed at Grubbtjärn.
