Grayling Guide offers guided fly fishing and ice fishing trips in Northern Finland, Sweden and Norway
"Imagine fish feeding on the surface in the middle of the day.
Imagine a place where you can fish in the middle of the night and it's never dark.
Imagine summer in Lapland."
In summer Grayling Guide offers fly fishing trips from the fjords of Norway to the rivers of Finnish Lapland
Our summer in Northern Finland, Sweden and Norway is quite short and fish tend to eat every chance they get. We have nightless night called The Midnight sun and since the sun doesn't go down completely in June and July you can fish 24/7. In July and August dry fly fishing works exceptionally well on grayling, trout, arctic char and whitefish.
Here in Northern Finland we have excellent grayling rivers and lakes. Grayling Guide organizes also fly fishing and river rafting trips targeting on huge grayling. But don't let my company's name fool you. We can also concentrate on arctic char, sea trout, whitefish, perch or pike. There's something for everyone in Lapland but if you dream on catching a record breaking grayling you have definitely come to the right place.

We can make it easy for you. Take a flight to Kittilä (Kittila) or Rovaniemi airport and we'll take care of everything else. You don't even have to take fishing gear with you. We'll give you quality fly fishing equipment to use. If you want we can offer you an all inclusive fishing holiday. Different gourmet reindeer or fresh fish meals every day.
We'll pick you up from the airport and next thing you know you'll be wading in the river and catching graylings. Every fishing trip is planned individually but there are also complete fishing packages to choose from.
In winter Grayling Guide offers ice fishing trips in Kilpisjärvi and Enontekiö area
From November to May all the lakes are frozen in Lapland. Then you have got an opportunity to try arctic ice fishing in Muonio, Hetta or Kilpisjärvi area. In our ice fishing trips in Lapland we usually use snowmobile and sledge for transportation and we use insulated tent if it gets really cold. The thickness of ice can be even more than one meter so we need to have special equipment while we fish through the ice. Ice fishing can be a lot of fun and sometimes highly rewarding. When you book an ice fishing trip from Grayling Guide you don't have to worry about any fishing or safety equipment. Everything is included in your trip.
In Northern Finland there's a big lake called Kilpisjärvi. It's famous for its huge arctic char. In winter we can hire a cottage near the lake and try ice fishing on the lake. The biggest arctic chars caught through the ice from Kilpisjärvi have weighed about 5 kilograms but usually you just dream of those. It´s not easy fishing in winter but here you'll have a chance to catch big arctic char through the ice. And if you're adventurous we can head to the beautiful fell area by snowmobiles and make a longer ice fishing trip.
Ice fishing is an experience you don´t want to miss if you plan to visit Northern Finland in wintertime. Book your trip well ahead.

***Warning:
In some lakes and especially rivers there are parts where ice can be really thin and you should not go on ice if you don't know the place well.
New Zealand fishing trips
I've visited New Zealand for many years for fly fishing. If you have a group who would need a guide to travel with you and organize everything in New Zealand you can ask me to join you. I can reserve an accommodation for you and take you to different locations to fish.
Want to learn fly fishing?
My profession besides being a fishing guide is a teacher. I've taught in primary school for twenty years. I'm not teaching anymore and I'm concentrating on just guiding. But I'm teaching fly fishing whenever I have a chance.
So if you want to learn fly fishing techniques I'm here for you. I can also teach you ice fishing, spin fishing, fly tying, rod building or how to read a river if you wish.

Most of the time you'll be able to reach me via phone or e-mail. If my phones says that I'm out of reach it literally means that. Although I have got a satellite messaging device for safety reasons I'm not using my cell phone in remote areas. Then you might want to write me an e-mail or call again after couple of days. I'm hardly ever more than a week in remote areas without a cell phone. If I don't answer I usually call you back.
If you plan to visit Northern Lapland the closest airports to my company are in Kittilä (Kittila) and Enontekiö (Enontekio). Kittilä airport is open all year. To Kolari you can arrive by train. Ask a transportation to and from the airport or train station.
