Finland is not only a lake country, it can rightfully be considered a river country, since the number of rivers can compete with many countries. In total, more than 600 rivers flow through Finland, and according to some sources, their number reaches two thousand.
Most of them flow into the Baltic Sea, some into the North Arctic Ocean. But the bulk of these several hundred are tributaries, although they are often longer and wider than the main water arteries.
Translated from Finnish, “joki” means river, which is why all the rivers in Finland have this ending. Lapland is considered the richest river systems region. The longest river in Finland is the Kemijoki, with a length of 550 km. It crosses the northern part of the country through the cities of Kemijärvi and Rovaniemi and flows into the Gulf of Bothnia near the city of Kemi. It is sometimes considered that the longest waterway (570 km) is the two merged rivers - Muonionjoki and Tornionjoki, which form the state border between Finland and Sweden.
Water resources
The first water mill appeared in 1932 on the Aurajoki River, and in the 19th century there were already more than four thousand of them. And in 1929, the first hydroelectric power station was launched in Imatra on the Vuoksa River, which still attracts tourists today. In summer, many tourists gather here to watch the daily grand release of water to the music of Sibelius, Darude or Nightwish.
Fishing element
Fishing in Finland is an integral part of the culture, especially since the nature of Finland provides all the conditions for the fulfillment of fishing goals. Every year, many people flock to the rapids, or rent cottages on the shore and enjoy the quiet backwaters with a fishing rod in hand.
The Teno (Tenojoki) River in the north of the country is considered one of the most “salmon-rich” - the largest individuals are found here, up to 20 kg. There is also the opportunity to catch Arctic char or salmon. And the largest salmon caught in Finland lived in the waters of the Tornionjoki River (1906, 43 kg). Its deep current allows the use of trolling. In addition to salmon, common fish in the region include pike, perch, grayling and brown trout.
Trout fishing is most popular in Central Finland and Lapland. The most prized rivers among fishermen are the Oulankajoki, Kitkajoki and Kuusinkijoki rivers, where large trout come from the lakes to spawn.
Winter fishing is no less popular in Finland. The peculiarity of river fishing is that many rivers do not freeze due to the abundance of rapids. But be careful, the timing of winter fishing and the amount of catch are usually strictly limited.
Do not forget that fishing in most cases requires obtaining a license and paying a state fee. Many companies offer entire packages of services, including accommodation, provision of equipment and preparation of necessary documents.
