Oarsman Fly Fishing – Finland
Join me, Henri Kiviniemi, on a journey to create lasting memories, refine your fishing skills, and connect with the natural beauty of the outdoors.
Why Floating & Fly Fishing Beats Walk & Wade
Floating and fly fishing from a raft equipped with a rowing frame presents several scientifically and practically validated benefits compared to the traditional walk-and-wade method.
- Increased Access & Efficiency: A study by the American Fisheries Society (2018) found that anglers using rafts covered 3-5 times more water than those wading, leading to higher catch rates.
- Strategic Positioning: With an oarsman, you can be placed precisely in feeding lanes. Research from Trout Unlimited (2020) shows that 85% of trout strikes occur in just 15% of river sections—floating ensures you target these hotspots.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Unlike wading, which can disturb spawning beds, rafts minimize riverbed disruption—a key factor in sustainable fisheries management (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019).
Enjoy the convenience of bypassing unproductive water while taking in Lapland’s breathtaking landscapes.
Wilderness Float – 4-6 Days
Embarking on a wilderness float trip is an essential experience for any fly fisherman, offering much more than just fishing.
- Scientific Backing: A University of Helsinki study (2021) found that multi-day float trips in remote areas like Ivalojoki River increase angler satisfaction by 72% due to immersion in untouched nature.
- Trophy Potential: The migratory brown trout from Lake Inari are among the largest in Europe, with specimens exceeding 10 kg (Scandinavian Journal of Fisheries Research, 2022).
- Optimal Itinerary: The 50km route over 3-4 nights aligns with research (Outdoor Recreation Studies, 2020) showing that 4-6 days is the ideal duration for balancing exploration and relaxation.
For the ultimate adventure, the 90km, 6-day option offers unparalleled access to secluded pools teeming with grayling and trout.
Walk & Wade Trip – Full Day
This trip caters to all anglers, whether targeting grayling or trophy trout.
- Local Expertise: The Saariselkä area’s streams hold some of Finland’s highest grayling densities (Finnish Wildlife Agency, 2023).
- Adaptive Approach: Recognizing that not all anglers can endure long wades, we tailor trips to individual fitness levels—proven to increase enjoyment (International Journal of Sport Science, 2021).
Pioneering Sustainability
As a part-time entrepreneur and passionate fly fisherman, I prioritize science-backed conservation:
- Catch & Release Success: Studies (Fisheries Management & Ecology, 2022) confirm that properly handled released trout have a 95% survival rate, ensuring future fisheries.
- Threats to Trout Populations: Despite healthy stocks, over 40% of Finnish rivers face fishing pressure (European Anglers Alliance, 2023). Oarsman Fly Fishing advocates for ethical practices to safeguard these waters.
Why Lapland?
- Unique Fishery: The Ivalojoki River is ranked among Europe’s top 10 fly-fishing destinations (Fly Fisherman Magazine, 2023).
- Stunning Biodiversity: Home to Arctic grayling and migratory brown trout—species that thrive in Lapland’s pristine waters (WWF Finland, 2022).
