Arctic ice fishing experience in Pello, Lapland with a local professional guide
Join us for an unforgettable 2-hour ice fishing adventure in Pello, the heart of fishing in Lapland, with the local Uusitalo family. This experience offers an easy and authentic way to learn about Finnish winter fishing. The Uusitalo family, known for their salmon fishing trips, has been fishing in this area during winter for over 100 years. Ice fishing takes place on a frozen river, and just getting to the fishing spot is an adventure — you’ll travel comfortably in a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile, enjoying the scenic ride as a passenger while your guide handles the driving.
The main fish species in winter include perch, pike, and burbot. Your guide will share fascinating insights about fishing on the Tornio River and also explains the various fishing methods used throughout the year. The holes for ice fishing will be drilled using an electric auger, and the guide will help you select suitable lures and teach you ice fishing techniques. A fish finder is also available for use during the trip. Warm drinks and biscuits are served, and sausages will be grilled over an open fire in the cozy warmth of a fire sleigh, where you can warm up if needed.
