Guided salmon fishing techniques

We offer a few different salmon fishing  techniques. The choice depends on your preferences and the season.

1. FLY FISHING

Fly fishing, for most fishermen, is the most wanted method to catch salmon.  We’ve got all the fly fishing gear for you, and can take you to the spots. You can cast from the shore or boat, depending on your choice. Because of the big average size of salmon, Tornio river is a great location to catch really big salmons on fly.

2. ROWING

The most traditional salmon fishing technique in Tornio River and Finland, rowing continues to be super popular salmon fishing option. In this method, we use traditional Finnish river boats, rowed by the guide, to deliver the lures to the salmon. Rowing is a very effective technique, and something you won’t probably experience anywhere else in the world.
