Choose the type of fishing and desired area. You may browse fishing tourism countries at Fishing in Finland or make your own arrangement.
Buy the appropriate fishing licenses upon arrival in Finland. You must pay a fishing management fee at 6 Euros for six days, and where the type of fishing dictates, a lure fishing license at the same price.
Start in the city of Turku, which is a jumping-off place in southwest Finland for fishing destinations in the Scandinavian Islands. With rivers and ocean coast, Turku's waters teem with sea trout, pike and perch that grow up to five pounds. Cottages are a popular choice of accommodation, and many come complete with fishing equipment, guides and tours. From Turku, you take a ferry to Aland, other islands in the archipelago or even to Stockholm, Sweden.
Book a tour from Aland Island, one of the most beautiful in the Turku Archipelago. This fascinating region of the Scandinavian Islands is part of Finland, yet its residents speak Swedish. This is a complicated area when it comes to fishing -- many spots require explicit permission from private owners, and Aland issues over 60 specific fishing licenses. Therefore, it's best to book a tour or guide. Some of the best tours here come in the spring -- when the ice has melted and pike are plentiful.
