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 also common in Finland.

The 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.
