Fishing in Finnish Archipelago

The main fish that can be caught is pike, but there are also perch, pikeperch, whitefish, bream, and salmon. The archipelago sea is one of the best perch areas in Finland, and perch of 300–500 grams are quite common, and there will be bigger ones. An ordinary pike perch weighs less than a kilogram, but the best places have the option of even a multi-kilos pike.

In the spring, after the ice leaves, an interesting form of trapping is whitefish angling from the archipelago’s strait and sandy bottoms.

After successful fishing, the catch can be cleaned on the cleaning tables in the marina and grill shelter. In the grill shelter of the Holiday Village there are two smoke ovens with wood chips and one LPG grill. You can find a ceramic Kamado Joe grill waiting for you on the terrace of every Villa. The evening will be crowned by a decent steam of sauna, of course!
