The abundance of water, a creation of the Ice Age, as well as
good transport connections and services, make our country a dream
destination for anglers. The wide-open blue lakes are waiting for you,
with summer cottages scattered on their islands and shores.
The Tampere Region, located in the western part of the Finnish Lake
District, is ideal for anglers. After all, as much as 14 % of our
region’s total area is covered by water, thus offering you endless
opportunities to engage in different forms of fishing all year round.
Stocks of zander have strengthened in most large lakes since a slight
decline at the turn of the millennium. At present, it is not impossible
to catch a big zander. As long as conditions and the choice of lure hit
the mark, the silence may not only be disturbed by the diver’s cry but
also by the loud buzz of the brake on your multiplier!

Pike can be found in all waters. In spring the end of May and the early
June and in autumn October are the best seasons for big pike.
Lately, people have also heard delightful reports of exceptionally large
perch, which have emerged in many places and in quite large numbers. The
warm summers have indeed done the trick for percoids.
The situation for salmonoids is also getting better. The vendace stock
has strengthened in particular along the Lake Näsijärvi water route,
which accelerates the growth of several predatory species, especially
brown trout and landlocked salmon.
The following pages provide you with basic information about game fish
species and fishing in the Tampere Region.

Accommodation in the heart of nature – guided
fishing trips
You can find details of
high-quality cottages and other rural accommodation sites for anglers
and holidaymakers. Accommodation sites offer boats for hire and some
also sell fishing licences. As part of an autumn fishing trip, you can
also check out the berry and mushroom varieties on offer in the region’s
forests.
The easiest way to find good fishing grounds is to seek professional
advice. Fishing guides can take you to the best sites and can teach you
the best fishing techniques for each season, showing you suitable lures
and the hot spots in different water areas. Their high-quality boats
make it fast and easy to move from place to place and take in the
natural beauty of the lake scenery. Many foreign guests have discovered
a completely different Finland when they have visited our superb fishing
grounds with a professional guide.

Other things to see and experience
In addition to splendid fishing grounds, the Tampere Region has much
more to offer for your holiday. Tampere, the third largest city in
Finland with a population of 200,000, is a modern centre of cultural and
business life, where you can find places to shop, restaurants, museums,
an adventure park, theatres and a wide variety of events. In contrast,
you can experience peace and quiet and splendid nature in the region’s
forests, on the hiking trails of the national parks and in the
countryside. |
