Ice fishing

In Lapland area we can make short ice fishing trips by snowmobile or by foot on the lakes nearby. It's possible to use electronic sonar equipment so we know what's happening below the ice. We can also fish on the slow flowing rivers in winter. There's a thick ice on them. 

On shorter half-day trips we usually concentrate on perch fishing.  Also grayling, white fish and arctic char fishing can be excellent on the lakes and rivers in winter. In shallow areas you can just lay down on a mattress or reindeer hide and actually see the fish through the hole. Shorter trips are usually held in Hetta or Muonio area and longer trips in Kilpisjärvi.

If you want to experience really good arctic fishing I recommend that we'll book a cabin for several days and everyday we can fish different waters and target on different species. Moving around is relatively fast on a snowmobile and we are able to visit really remote areas in a day. And in the evening you'll have time to relax in a cozy cabin and experience the finnish sauna.


In ice fishing we can use a snowmobile and a sledge to move around. We also have got an insulated ice fishing tent if you need to escape the weather. Ice fishing season is normally from November to May. The best time for ice fishing is usually late March and April. Then sun is starting to warm our days a lot.

Full day trip prices start from 600 euros (including a snowmobile and a sledge ride) and they last 6-10 hours depending on the season and darkness. In spring time full day trips last for 8-10 hours and prices start from 700 euros. We usually start trips from Kilpisjärvi but we can also go ice fishing to Norway or Sweden.


Multi-day fishing trip prices start from 600/700 euros/day. Usually it's a good idea to rent a cabin in Kilpisjärvi and make several day (including a snowmobile or sledge ride). A cabin rent is not included in the price.
