Kauhajoki

Flowing through Etelä-Pohjanmaa, Finland, Kauhajoki is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Kauhajoki hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Kauhajoki can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
