Fishing is a great summer activity and the Hossa area provides an excellent setting for different fishing methods in varying destinations. Both beginners and professionals will find enjoyable experiences with a local guide. On this 7 day fishing trip we will be using a simple rowing boat made for 3 persons, that´s why this trip is tailored for 2 persons only; this allows us to reach unique places and it´s not even allowed to use a motorboat in some destinations situated inside the Hossa National Park.
If you have previous experience on fishing and you feel you can manage in a boat with all the equipment by yourself, then more than 2 people is possible. In general this tour is for authentic and more minimalistic type of fishing as we won´t be using echo sounders or other gadgets for example. The experience is as much about enjoying the moment and nature and watching wildlife as it is about fishing. The possible catch we take for food with certain limitations and the fish will be served as part of our dinners during the week.
We will be fishing in varying destinations with different sizes of spinning reels, target fish being mainly pike and perch, but there´s also a chance for brown trout, white fish and grayling one day. The accommodation of your choice (agreed when making the booking) will serve as your basecamp from where we will do daily, 6-7 hour fishing trips to the surrounding area. All meals will be included and dinners will be delivered to your accommodation by your guide, who will be staying in another place closeby.
This program can be fixed to meet your needs, if you have special interest towards catching certain type of fish for example. Weather should always be taken into notice and many times the night/evening time is better for fishing so the timetables will vary.
***************************************************************************************************************
Day 1
Arrival to Kuusamo, Kajaani or Oulu airport and transfer to Hossa. We´ll enjoy a welcoming dinner at your accommodation, settle in, get familiar with the surroundings and go through our plan for tomorrow. Depending on the schedules , sauna will also be available.
Day 2
After breakfast it´s time to pack our gear, do a 20 minute transfer and head after pike and it´s possible to catch good sized perch too. We will be fishing from a boat, following a river and doing some spin casting and trolling on the way. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed outdoors. After fishing and getting back to the cabin / apartment in the afternoon, we will heat up the sauna and have dinner.
Day 3
Today after breakfast we will head out to the same place, but will move in the opposite direction on this long river that at times turns into still water bays and little ponds. Picnic lunch outdoors and dinner and sauna in the evening.
Day 4
This days´ target is brown trout, white fish and grayling and we´ll try to catch them from one of the most beautiful lakes inside the Hossa national park. Here the water is crystal clear and the lake is deep so the fishing is challenging, but the possible catch can also be very special. We´ll be gently sliding forward on a rowing boat, mostly trolling but will also stop to do some casting on the way in some potential spots. Perch and pike can also be caught here as they are found in every lake, depending on the lures we choose to use. Breakfast, picnic lunch, dinner and sauna included.
Day 5
Today we are after pike and perch again, but on a different location than the first two days; same water system but further up the stream and closer to the Hossa village this time. All meals and sauna included as usual.
Day 6
Your last full day in Hossa is optional, so you can choose what you´d like to do. It´s possible to do something completely different, like go for a hike in the National Park and visit the Colored rock or the Julma-Ölkky canyon for example, or choose to go fishing in one of the spots of the previous days, now that you know the destinations and their characteristics. A few ponds in the area are stocked with rainbow trout and there´s a chance for fishing in the rapids / white water too, so you can try out one more fishing method if interested. Last full day of your tour includes all meals and sauna of course.
Day 7
Breakfast, possible lunch and transfer to the airport.
