Rovaniemi is ideal for fishing buffs: we have a great selection of frozen rivers, rapids, lakes and ponds in the area. We will approach one of these areas by car and set up our fishing spot in the lovely Finnish wilderness. First, you will drill your own hole into the ice and then place the hook into the water. Fish don’t expend much energy during the winter months, therefore if you move your bait or jig too fast a fish might let it go in order to save energy.

Our guide will instruct you on the proper ice fishing technique
A catch is not guaranteed but being patient greatly improves your luck!
While you are fishing we will prepare a campfire and cook traditional Finnish sausages for you

We will start from Rovaniemi and drive around 20-40 km away to reach the best spots.
During the trip we will build up a campfire and fry some sausages while fishing. If we get big enough catch, we can fry that too and have a nice meal!
Photographic opportunities are around us all the time and the river areas offers an ideal setting for landscape photography.
