Könkämäeno river fishing
River Könkämäeno is a big river flowing on a border between Sweden and Finland. It is famous for its huge graylings. In this river you definitely have got a chance to catch a grayling weighing more than 1 kilogram (more than 2 pounds). River is best fished when river levels are not high. Usually it means that the best time to fish this river is from the beginning of July to the middle of September. When the river is low you can even wade to Sweden.
In some parts of the Könkämäeno there's a lot of white fish and perch, which can grow huge. On your trip we can combine different kind of fishing. In the morning we might target on catching a trophy size perch and in the evening we'll fish for grayling or white fish. And these fishes love to eat dry flies all day long.
If you want to save time and get to isolated areas, I recommend to book a heli fishing experience. We can easily access really good grayling fishing in the wilderness. This can be even a day trip or we can stay in the wilderness there as long as you want just sleeping in tents. Cost of the helicopter depends on the distance we fly and it varies between 900 and 2000 euros return flights. Fishing guide comes along with the normal daily price.
River rafting and fishing
It's very good idea to explore grayling rivers by rubber boat. If you want we can do also white water river rafting or we can concentrate on slower moving waters. Don't worry about rafting your guide is a trained professional also in river rafting and can handle the boat even without any help.
If you have time we suggest you to book a multi-day rafting and fishing trip where we reach many excellent fishing spots by boat and spend the nights in tents by the river. You can also order all inclusive trip where all the food is taken care of. Although you might want to help by catching a dinner size fish for us.
Grayling lakes
We have nice grayling lakes not far away from the roads and easy access. We can even park car next to the lake. In some lake nearby there is a possibility to catch trout and arctic char also. You can easily book a day trip to the grayling lake and we start our journey from Muonio or Palojoensuu.
We also have grayling lakes in remote areas. Getting there requires a helicopter ride. So multi-day trip is the best option. We can fish in different lakes and even on a river on the same trip if you are willing to walk a little bit. Graylings weighing over 1 kilogram are caught regularly here and there's always possibility catch a much bigger grayling also. In these kind of trips you can also use a float tube in fishing.

Don't hesitate to ask more information about grayling fishing. We can also choose a river or a lake from Sweden or Norway depending on your wishes. The best fishing time for smaller rivers is early in the season which usually means end of June and beginning of July. Prices on those trips to Sweden and Norway are about the same as trips in Finland. We can also fly in remote areas in Finland and Sweden and helicopter prices start from 900 euros return flight.
