A small hole in the ice, a short rod and an open view across a winter lake: ice fishing, known as pilkkiminen in Finnish, lets you experience Lapland at a gentle pace. Juha accompanies you and explains how to use the equipment and bait. You can discover the technique without previous fishing experience.
The winter outing
The current flyer describes a private trip of around two and a half hours, with a sled ride to the frozen lake. Fishing equipment, a manual ice auger, hot drinks, a campfire and insurance are part of the advertised package. If a suitable fish is caught, it can be cooked over the fire. Every fishing day is different; spending time outdoors together is as much part of the outing as the possibility of a catch.
Meeting point and preparation
The regular departure point is Juha’s farm. Starting directly at Mökki Tikka is possible by arrangement. Juha can also prepare an ice-fishing hole near the house; discuss this with him directly. He adapts the location and plans to current ice and weather conditions.
As you will be sitting still, warm layers, insulated boots, a hat and gloves make a real difference. Confirm clothing, inclusions and any permits when booking. Only go onto the lake when safe ice conditions have been confirmed.
