由 John-Paul Duff “Master the Art of Fly Fishing in Finland’s Untamed Wilderness with Oarsman Fly Fishing”
Embark on an Unforgettable Adventure
Join me, Henri Kiviniemi, as we craft lifelong memories, hone your angling skills, and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of Finland’s pristine rivers. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, the waters of Lapland await.
Why Float & Fly Fish?
Gliding along the river in a raft with a rowing frame transforms your fishing experience. Unlike traditional walk-and-wade methods, this approach lets you effortlessly cover vast stretches of water, targeting prime fishing spots with precision. With an expert oarsman guiding you, you’ll cast into the most promising areas while soaking in the stunning landscapes—no wasted time, just pure fishing bliss.
Wilderness Float: 4-6 Days of Pure Exploration
For the true fly fishing enthusiast, a multi-day wilderness float is more than a trip—it’s a pilgrimage. Imagine hooking trophy trout or countless grayling while navigating untouched rivers and rugged terrain, far from the crowds. This is your chance to experience fly fishing in its purest form, surrounded by the raw beauty of Lapland’s wilderness.
Journey Along the Ivalojoki River
Spanning 50km (or 90km for the 6-day option), this expedition takes you through some of Finland’s most fertile waters. As migratory brown trout from Lake Inari surge into the river system all summer, you’ll fish from the raft by day and camp near prime spots by night, ready for wade fishing at dawn.
Walk & Wade: A Full-Day Adventure for All
Whether you’re chasing grayling or trophy trout, this tailored trip ensures success. The Saariselkä region is dotted with streams teeming with fish, and we’ll adapt the journey to match your stamina and skill level—no grueling hikes required.
Pioneering Sustainability in Fly Fishing
As a part-time guide and full-time fishing enthusiast, I’m driven by a deep love for the sport and a commitment to preserving these waters. Living in Saariselkä has given me an intimate understanding of the rivers, and I’m dedicated to sharing their secrets while protecting their future.
A Call to Protect Lapland’s Trout
Despite healthy trout populations, these fish face threats from overfishing. At Oarsman Fly Fishing, we practice strict catch-and-release to safeguard the fishery and elevate its potential. Together, we can ensure these waters thrive for generations.
