World Sport Fishing

With few roads, a very small population, and lying mainly above the Arctic Circle, the peninsula is a truly remote wilderness, and it has taken some years to overcome the geographical problems this incurs. We offer guided fishing on 3 of the best riverson the peninsular The Kola, Titokva and the Kitza. Camps vary and prices vary accordingly , we can offer quality lodges for these requiring complete comfort, or comfortable tented accommodation for those wish to experience this ultimate wilderness fishing experience on a tighter budget.

We run 7 beats and 2 rods fish each beat. Every beat has 2 guides, which means that each rod has a private guide. Your guide will take you daily to fish the different pools and the boats prove to be helpful as there are many miles of water to cover.The fisherman should expect to catch 5 to 6 fish daily and given their size and strength, they provide one with more than adequate doses of adrenaline to get through the day. Also it’s good to remember that being this far North, you can fish 24 hours a day and double these numbers. Most of the salmon ascending the Kola end up in the Kitsa, their spawning grounds, and the Kitsa provides superb fishing in more intimate surroundings, as it is somewhat smaller than the Kola.

Accommodation. This non Helicopter program is especially interesting for those who value accommodation highly as it revolves a luxurious timber camp with communal building for eating and socializing. The accommodations at the camp are in cottages with private bathroom and shower. The dining/sitting area is in a separate building with a beautiful circular shaped veranda, serving as a bar overlooking the Home Pool. Here one can relax after the day’s fishing, enjoy a drink or two with your fellow anglers and watch the salmon leap. There is also a sauna in the Lodge.

Drift Boat Fishing

Drift Boat fishing : River fishing from drift boats, your guide will take you through the unspoiled waters of the Central Finland.

Your perspective changes as you slip quietly down stream. You glide easily from place to place, anticipating the next riffle, the next flat, the next tailout. After a while, you realize that you have left the rushing onslaught of daily life behind and in its place there is only the river and the wild brown trout. McKenzie Drift boats have been used in Canada, North America and New Zealand for decades and now those are at the Kapeenkoski rapids, Finland.

The best flies resemble the various development phases of the caddis fly, and lures should resemble small vendace, roach, perch and bullhead.
