About This Experience

Embark on a guided trolling fishing trip from Haukipudas and discover one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to catch Finland's iconic predatory fish and salmon. Combining peaceful cruising, spectacular northern scenery, and the excitement of a sudden strike, trolling offers an unforgettable fishing experience for both beginners and experienced anglers.

Cruise across the productive waters of Northern Ostrobothnia and Sea Lapland while your lures work at carefully selected depths behind the boat. Modern Garmin fish-finding technology helps your experienced local guide locate active feeding areas and fish movements, allowing you to spend more time fishing where the action is.

Then one of the rods suddenly twitches.

The line tightens, the rod bends, and in an instant, a quiet day on the water turns into an exciting battle with a powerful fish.

It's this perfect balance of relaxation, anticipation, and adrenaline that makes trolling one of Finland's most rewarding fishing experiences.


An Easy and Exciting Fishing Experience

Guided trolling is suitable for everyone, including complete beginners. No previous fishing experience is required.

Your experienced local guide takes care of navigating the boat, setting the trolling spread, selecting the most productive lures, adjusting trolling speed, and constantly monitoring the rods. You can simply relax, enjoy the stunning northern landscapes, and wait for the next strike.

When a fish takes the lure, your guide will help you fight, land, and safely handle your catch.

This experience is ideal for:

  • first-time anglers
  • experienced fishermen and women
  • families
  • groups of friends
  • corporate team-building and incentive events
  • larger private groups

Every day on the water is different, making each fishing trip a unique experience shaped by nature.
