The Finnish region of Lapland is located in the far north of Finland. Most of the area is completely uninhabited, but full of lakes and rivers teeming with fish. Needless to say that the scenery is breathtaking, with huge expanses of forest and wilderness.
In the southern part of this region is salmon fish prince. In order of importance and quantity is then the grayling, the brown trout, sea trout and Arctic char in a little way to the far north.
Apart from salmon and sea trout, which are migratory, hence the growth of fish is very low because for about 6 months of the year rivers and lakes are completely frozen. The average size of trout and grayling from about half a kilo per kilo, while the pike weights of 1-2 pounds are the norm. Usually the more you push to the north and the smaller the size of fish.
In this region, the season is pretty short, about the early June to late August. The temperatures are very mild here in the summer can reach a maximum of 15 degrees, and the chances of rain are quite usual.
As for the rivers, the Torne River, which marks the border between Finland and Sweden , is certainly the most famous river of Finland; has become one of the best places in Europe where fish for salmon. Along more than 400 km rich quick free-flowing and is able to provide today and in the future incredible pieces of salmon. Salmon over 10 pounds are the norm and it is not uncommon also fish for 15 pounds, however the average size is around 6 kg . The largest salmon ever caught in Finland a specimen of 42 pounds was taken wings turn of the century on the river Tornio. Fishing is practiced along the 'entire course of the Torne River and in many areas the current is so strong that it is impossible to fish without the' aid of the boat. Through the rapids you can still find quiet corners where even fishing from the shore.
should however not forget all the other rivers that flow into the Gulf of Bothnia on the River Simo, one hundred kilometers long is ideal for fishing with artificial flies, the most common prey, the salmon over and above the grayling also particularly appreciated by many anglers in many rivers in the north.
Worthy of note are the rivers Pyha, Menkarvia Leste, and all three flow into the Gulf of Bothnia and are known for the rise of sea trout during the spawning period. In summer you can also find plenty of trout.
Teno River, which flows north, between Finland and Norway produces more salmon than any other European rivers although the average size is small.
