The experience
A fishing hole.
A quieter kind of day.
There is no rush on an ice fishing trip. Your guide prepares the fishing holes, explains the equipment and helps you get started, so you can enjoy the experience even if you have never fished before.
The location is selected for current ice thickness, weather, accessibility and safety. You may visit a frozen lake or another suitable ice area near Oulu, with warm drinks and a campfire when conditions allow.
