Muonionjoki

Muonionjoki, in Lappi, Sweden, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Muonionjoki is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

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 Lake trout

  Target deep water near structure or drop-offs, especially during warmer months, and vary your retrieve until you find what works.
