Ice-fishing is winter fishing at its most traditional. On Finnish ice-fishing waters – in wide open mid-lake areas or bay heads –
anglers can ideally experience such peace of nature and peace of mind that is difficult to find anywhere else in the world.

Ice-fishing falls within the scope of public rights of access, which means that you don't need any licences to go ice-fishing.
At some point in their life, almost every Finn has sat by an ice hole, ice-fishing for perch, the national fish of Finland.
Many have got such a bite on the end of their lines that this has kindled a lifelong spark for fishing.
