River fishing
An unique chance to fish trouts in Finland is to head for
a fishing trip in Kuusamo. To the three known troutrivers
Kitka, Oulanka and Kuusinki.
Oulanka- and Kitka rivers
Oulanka offers the best sandy beaches in Kuusamo,
where as Kitka is more rugged and barren with its
canyon like river bends. Although these river areas
are right in the middle of our most beautiful wilderness,
they still are very easy to reach by car. The famous hiking
trail Karhunkierros follows the rivers Kitka and Oulanka.
Oulanka river
This beautiful river courses through the national park of Oulanka.
Oulanka river is best for early summer fishing as its the first
rivers that the trouts swim to during the spring from Russia's large lakes.
Kitka river
This river has surprised many of its fishers with its large fishes.
During past years the biggest catches have been catched from Kitka.
Kitka rivers courses through pine tree forests in a deep canyon.
Eventhough this river is very beautiful, it can also show its
other face to fishers. It is very hard river to catch fish from, to an
experienced fisher who knows the river well its not hard to go and just
catch a few here and there. But for a new fisher the learning process
might be long and hard. This river is best suited for those who dont
mind to walk long distances in hard enviroment.
Kuusinki
Kitka is the easiest river to fish from the three great rivers of
Kuusamo, it is also the most popular one. And for a reason, the
trouts catched from this river can at their best weight around 7-8 kg.
Also this river is very easy to reach and moving around the river is
also easy as there are forest roads going beside the river on both sides.
