Fishing in Finland
There
are four distinct seasons in Finland. Forests and lakes cover
the most of Finland's surface. Boreal and broadleaf forest belts,
deciduous woodland and some tundra vegetation are all present
in Finland. This is the country of unspoiled nature. The clean,
pure waters of Finland provide a great variety of fishing sites
and fish species.
Recreational fishing is the most important nature activity for
Finns. About 40 per cent of the Finnish population, more than
2 million people, take part in fishing events at least once a
year.
The most common fish species in Finland are perch, roach and
pike, which are abundant in almost all waters. Because of the
cold climate, the salmonids are common in Finland.
Southern part of Finland offers great sea fishing opportunities.
Northern pike (up to 10 kg), perch (up to 1 kg), sea trout (up
to 5 kg), Atlantic salmon (up to 20 kg) are all abundant in the
coastal areas.
Finland is a country of thousands of lakes. In the middle of
the country the lakes are so numerous that the area is called
Lake Finland. Pike, pikeperch, perch, brown trout and lake salmon
are fisherman's target species.
In the northern part of Finland there are a lot of free flowing,
wild rivers. Natural brown trout, grayling, pike and whitefish
are present in almost all rivers and lakes in Lapland. Arctic
char is also present in some wilderness areas.
Finland's unspoiled and quiet nature, great fish and catches
are waiting for You. Our guides and companies do their best to
guarantee the most fantastic fishing experiences for You. Welcome
to Finland!
