Ice fishing season

In Lapland, the smallest lakes freeze usually in late October and the bigger lakes in November - December. The ice-fishing season lasts 5–6 months ending in May (In Tundra in June).

The early season and the late season are the best periods. Just after the lakes have got a thin ice cover perch, and grayling are usually active and the catch can be very good. Especially if there aren´t much snow covering the ice yet.

Midwinter (POLAR NIGHT). The days are short and weather may be -5℃ or -40℃. The few "light" hours around noon are the best for ice-fishing in November - January. 

End of February the days are getting lighter and longer and perch, pike, grayling, trout, and arctic char is getting more and more active. Weather may be +10℃ or -20℃. The best ice-fishing season has started.

Late season: End of March untill May,... many fantastic ice-fishing trips have been made during the late season. The days are long (MIDNIGHT SUN), sun shines and the nature shows it´s best parts! Weather may be +20℃ or -5℃. The ice-fishing season ends usually in the middle of May. Depending on the weather and snow situation.

Ice fishing and kids

Adela, girl, age 10, has a memorie when she went out on the lake for ice-fishing with her dad last winter, ...

" Dad drive a snowmobile and I was sitting on warm reindeer skin in the snowmobile sledge. Dad chopped a hole on the ice and set the tip-ups. I remember a bit cold and wind on my face. Did the discomfort ruin the trip? Not a bit. I was with dad and I catched bigger fish than him, ... and that was a funny :) ".

Ice-fishing can be a memorable experience for everyone in the family.

The lake location is far away from any settlement, so it is a genuine wilderness lake. Distance to the nearest road is about 30 km. This is the main reason why fishermans have not been at the lake, and consequently, the grayling and pike have been able to attain trophy size.
