Kitkajoki

Kitkajoki is a river flowing through Pohjois-Pohjanmaa, Finland. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Kitkajoki, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
