Rainbow trout - Fly fishing on running waters in Finland

Rainbow trout bites a fly very aggressively.

Areas above rapids, above and below stones, under fallen trees, backflows and quiet water areas below waterfalls are excellent rainbow trout lodges.

The Best time to catch rainbow trout in summer are the darkest hours in the night. It is possible to catch rainbow trout also during the day in autumn and spring.

Wet flies and dry flies imitating Brown trout baits, as well as fry imitations, are excellent for Brown trout fishing. Irritating flies which are divergently-coloured and moving are excellent for rainbow trout.

Welcome to fish on the clean waters of Finland!
