Byske river, Sweden. Part 2. Droppaforsen and Hallestromsfallet

On the second day of my trip, I met with the guide. He said he had doctor's appointment, so he cannot provide full day guiding. Instead, he agreed to give me half-day river observation tour for free.

First site we visited, was Droppaforsen, which is located 3-4 kilometers downstream from Fallfors camping.

There is a parking spot with wooden table and toilet near the road,
The trail from parking spot goes to cabin (small rain shelter) . There is place for campfire nearby.
Near cabin is big slow moving pool. Fishing is convenient from rocks on the north side of the pool. Wading not required or very little required , as you can stay on the rocks.
Lots of fish was there jumping at the time, and often, very close to the shore. So, approach carefully and start with short line. 
Also, good place for fishing is below the rapids, you can reach quite a long fishable stretch by trail, which goes parallel to the river.

Unnamed pool - very good unmarked pool below Droppaforsen rapids.
Plenty of fishable water. Starting from rapids, current is fast, then it gradually slows down. In the lower stretch river is very slow and calm, almost like a lake.

This place accessible by foot from Droppaforsen site - follow the trail along the river. The other way is to walk down from unnamed parking spot, 400m from Droppaforsen.


Lower part of the run:


Hallestromsfallet. This is a first from chain of pools in Zone 4, near Fallfors.

Upper part is slow pool, lower part gradually turns to rapids. There is a small camping near the site with few cabins and houses.
