Fishing trips in Heinola | Experiential guided tours

Rowing fishing, casting fishing, angling and ice fishing from a boat or ice offer experiences for both first-time and experienced fishermen.

Rowing fishing trip to Rautjärvi – rainbow trout in the wilderness

Join us on an exciting rowing and fishing trip to the peaceful forest lake of Heinola, where traditional, noiseless boating meets efficient rainbow trout fishing. Your guide will row you alone or with a friend directly to the best spots – where the fish really move. We will fish in the clear and calm waters of Rautjärvi (8 ha). The lake is surrounded by almost untouched forest nature, and the atmosphere is truly wilderness-like – even though you are only about 5 km from the center of Heinola. During the trip, we will actively fish in different places and adjust the fishing method according to the conditions. The target is stocked rainbow trout, which offers fast-paced and rewarding fishing experiences for both beginners and more experienced fishermen. The fishing is completely tailored to your level and wishes. You can try, for example: Rowing-trolling, casting fishing, jigging. All the necessary equipment is ready - you just need to arrive and enjoy nature. The area also has lean-tos, campfire sites, fishing poles and casting piers, as well as the Sataoja nature trail, which makes the destination excellent for families and a relaxed day in nature along with fishing.
