About Ounasjoki
Ounasjoki cuts through Lappi, Finland and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades.

Fishing Techniques
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For European grayling
Grayling often hold in deeper runs and pools, so focus your efforts there using a drifting technique to present your bait naturally.
- For Ide
Use a slow, steady retrieve with spinners and crankbaits, especially when the water is cold, to give the Ide a chance to strike.
