The phrase "Fly Fishing"
Perhokalastus
As you venture into the heart of Finland, you'll quickly discover that its moniker, the "Land of a Thousand Lakes," is no exaggeration. With over 187,000 lakes and countless rivers, Finland is a fly fisher's paradise. The country's pristine waters and breathtaking landscapes create an unparalleled fly fishing experience.
Its sparsely populated landscapes, combined with stringent environmental regulations, help maintain the purity of its waters, ensuring a thriving ecosystem that supports an abundance of fish species. From the Arctic tundra of Lapland to the serene shores of the Finnish Lakeland, Finland's diverse habitats provide a unique fly fishing adventure unlike any other. As you probably know by now, it can get very cold in Finland, especially up North. It's important to do you research on the locations you want to fish, and what the weather will be like.
Finland has over 187,000 lakes
Most fly fishing focusses on saltwater and river fishing, for species like Atlantic Salmon and trout.
Lake Saima is the largest lake in Finland and part of the Finnish Lakeland. Saimaa and its surrounding waters are known for their healthy brown trout population. The optimal fishing season for brown trout here is from May to October.
These are the guides in Finland that can help you exlore new waters and learn new skills.
