Aurajoki

Aurajoki, in Varsinais-Suomi, Finland, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Aurajoki 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 Common rudd

  Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.

• For European chub

  When using lures, vary your retrieve speed and direction to trigger strikes. Chub often hold near cover like overhanging branches or submerged logs.
