Kellankoski Lodge, situated in Central Finland’s Konnevesi region, offers anglers a premier destination for pursuing large wild brown trout and other species in pristine waters. This stretch of river, part of the renowned Troutland area, combines untouched nature with exclusive access to prime rapids. It’s a haven for fly anglers looking to test their skills in one of Finland’s most rewarding trout fisheries.
Wade fishing for trophy wild browns in Finland
The Troutland area encompasses over 10 kilometers of private waters, renowned for their healthy populations of large wild brown trout. Anglers can expect to encounter trout averaging around 50 cm, with large specimens exceeding 70 cm not uncommon.
The fishing experience here is akin to that of the world-famous rivers of the Kola Peninsula, offering opportunities to target these formidable fish using various techniques, including streamer and dry fly fishing. The stretch of rapids, averaging 25 to 40 meters in width, are relatively easy to fish, with wading possible in most parts and the option to use drift boats. Professional guides are available to assist anglers in navigating the waters and enhancing their fishing experience.
Diverse fishing opportunities and seasonal highlights
The best time to target large trout is from June to the end of August, with each month offering unique conditions. Beyond brown trout, the region’s waters are home to grayling, perch, zander, and large pike, providing a diverse fishing experience.
The area offers excellent pike fishing, particularly from April to July and again in September and October when pike have had time to gain more weight.
Kellankoski Lodge provides guided fishing packages, including accommodation and meals, ensuring a comfortable and immersive experience for anglers seeking both challenge and tranquility in Finland’s scenic landscapes.
