About Esse å
As a river in Österbotten, Finland, Esse å fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Esse å pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Eurasian ruffe
Use light tackle and small hooks to avoid spooking ruffe, and focus your efforts near the bottom where they primarily feed.
- For Lake trout
Target deep water near structure or drop-offs, especially during warmer months, and vary your retrieve until you find what works.
