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.
Floating and fly fishing from a raft with a rowing frame offers several advantages over traditional walk-and-wade methods. This approach allows anglers to effortlessly explore vast stretches of the river, accessing prime fishing spots with ease. With an oarsman guiding you, you’ll be strategically positioned to cast in promising areas or target actively feeding fish. Skip unproductive waters while soaking in the breathtaking landscapes. Welcome aboard.
Wilderness Float – 4-6 Days
A wilderness float trip is a must for any fly fisherman, offering far more than just fishing. The thrill of hooking a trophy trout or numerous graylings is only part of the adventure. Traversing untouched wilderness and rugged landscapes—free from crowds—creates an unforgettable experience. This trip is a rare opportunity for seasoned anglers to discover the true essence of the sport.
The journey covers 50 km along the Ivalojoki River, ideally completed in three to four nights. For the 6-day option, you can embark on an extended 90 km float. Migratory brown trout from Lake Inari enter the river system throughout the summer. Fishing is primarily done from the raft, with overnight camps near prime spots for convenient wade fishing.
Walk and Wade Trip – Full Day
This trip suits all anglers, whether targeting grayling or large trout. The Saariselkä area is surrounded by streams teeming with trout and grayling, promising rewarding catches for those willing to explore. Recognizing that not everyone can handle long distances or challenging wades, the trip is tailored to match your abilities.
Pioneering Sustainability
As a part-time entrepreneur and passionate fly fisherman, I organize these trips out of love for the sport and shared experiences. My goal is to spend as much time on the river as possible, showcasing its unique features and pioneering innovative fishing strategies. Fly fishing fuels my personal growth and adds deeper meaning to life.
Living in Saariselkä has given me unparalleled access to these waters, allowing me to intimately understand the rivers through every season. My time on the water has deepened my connection to this extraordinary environment. The migratory brown trout fishery here deserves recognition as a world-class fly fishing destination.
Despite healthy trout populations, catch-and-release practices are not yet widespread, and trout face pressure from both commercial and recreational fishing. Oarsman Fly Fishing is committed to responsible practices, ensuring all trout are released. This approach preserves the fishery and enhances the region’s fly fishing potential.
