Fishing in Finnish Lapland’s Sirkka delivers two standout experiences worth every euro. The summer guided tours excel with multiple fishing styles – shore, wade, or boat – targeting pike, perch, grayling, and trout. Even better is the winter ice fishing just 10km away in Levi, where you’ll drill through frozen lakes and warm up with local salmon soup by a crackling fire. I love these tours for their expert guides, quality gear, and authentic Nordic atmosphere. Both options welcome all skill levels and ages.
