Guiding
wilderness float
A float trip through the wilderness is something every fly fisherman should have on their bucket list. It's an adventure that is about far more than just the fishing. While you may be hooked to a trophy trout or a bunch of graylings, riding through a roadless wilderness in a rugged scenery without crowds or service, makes one memorable experience. This is an exclusive service from one experienced fly fisherman to another. The real deal.
This float trip takes place on the Ivalojoki River, covering a 50 km route. For the best fishing experience, the trip is ideally spread over 3 to 4 nights.
For the 6-day option, you can choose a grand 90 km float. This float is available for solo travelers, and I reserve the right to shorten the trip to the usual 50 km in extremely low water conditions..
The powerful migratory browns from the lake Inari will be entering the river system all summer. Most day-time fishing happens on the move from the raft. We will be camping in a tent by the rivers top fishing spots for easy wade fishing access.

Walk & Wade Trip | full day
Whether you’re an angler who just wants to go out and catch some grayling or someone who’s looking for a serious trout hunt, it’s all within reach. In Saariselkä, we are surrounded by countless smaller streams with great populations of trout and grayling. Usually the physical effort pays off but, not all anglers can very readily walk extensive distances and wade, so we'll adjust the day accordingly.
