Jump into a rowboat and let your guide take you where the perch are hiding. This peaceful and adventurous fishing trip takes you to the best perch in the clear waters of the Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark area – completely without a motor, noise or rush.

Your guide will row the boat for about ten minutes to a secret anchorage, where the fish are located using an echo sounder. We fish with modern, lightweight equipment: ultra-light fishing rods and sensitive competition floats with LED indicators. This makes fishing surprisingly efficient and addictively fun – even for first-time anglers.

The best thing about this trip? You don’t need a fishing license. All fishing equipment and safety gear are included in the price. All you need to do is dress for the weather and get on the boat – we’ll take care of the rest.

🎯 Guide takes you straight to the best perch spots

🔍 Echo sounder in use – fish are found, not guessed

🧰 All equipment included in the price
