Tour Programme

Day 1
Fly from Gatwick Airport to Rovaniemi at which time you will be transported by car to your accommodation. General details on accommodation will be provided at a later date. Accommodation is provided in cabins with shared facilities or in hotel rooms with private shower and wc. Early dinner will be provided followed by a meeting with your guide to discuss the next four days and will be followed by 3 to 5 hours fishing depending on the stamina of the party. You will walk or transfer by car to the fishing location. All fishing is mainly catch and release fishing. The main encounter will be with grayling but dependent on the location there is the possibility for trout, salmon, whitefish, pike and perch. After fishing transfer back to your accommodation.

Days 2, 3 and 4
It’s very simple…. fish…fish…fish.. Your guide is available to each group of five fishermen for 8 hours per day. As fishing is possible 24 hours a day you can choose your hours. If the beat is simply behind your accommodation you can choose to fish anytime but perhaps you will choose to do some alternative activity during some days e.g. canoeing or some other activity. Your guide will be able to arrange this at extra cost.

Day 5
Of course we can’t let you down on your last day. After breakfast there will be a final opportunity for 3 to 5 hours fishing sport before a final lunch. Return to the airport for your return flight back to the United Kingdom.
