Ice fishing, or as we say pilkki, is indeed a Finnish hobby that almost all local people do. We travel by car to our fishing lake. Then we set off by snowshoes or just walk over the ice where we start ice fishing. Our guide introduces the gear to you and teaches you the tricks of ice fishing. After drilling a hole in to the lake and setting up your fishing jigs “pilkki”, you may catch perch, whitefish, roach, pike or even grayling. If you are lucky enough to catch fish our guide will show you how to prepare the fish by an open fire and you can enjoy your catch. During the tour coffee and tea is also served. Many Finns enjoy fishing for the peaceful moments it offers in nature. For some it is a way to spend time with friends and family, and some enjoy it most when done alone. Catching fish is the goal, but not the only reason to go out on the lake.
