Fishing in Lapland

Lapland's waters are some of the cleanest in the world. In summer, fly fish for brown trout and arctic grayling in the Ounasjoki river, or cast for pike and perch in the lakes. In winter, ice fishing is a classic Lapland experience. Drill through the lake ice, drop your line, and wait in the silence of the frozen landscape. A basic fishing permit is needed for most waters. You can buy one online or from local shops. Guided fishing trips run near both Levi and Ylläs.
