ICE FISHING  EXPERIENCES ON THE ICE OF LAKE MIEKOJÄRVI IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

Go ice fishing on Lake Miekojärvi in ​​the Arctic Circle with a expertise guide. The ice fishing season usually starts in December, as soon as the ice has strengthened enough to carry vehicles and it is safe to move on the ice.

The main catch is burbot in December-January, but perch, zander and pike can also be caught. In March, the spring-ripening fish perch, zander and pike come to the fore more strongly.

In December-February, beautiful colors of the night sky take over the landscape during the day and the northern lights are often seen delighting burbot ice fishermen in the dark. In midwinter, the cold is at its worst, so remember to dress appropriately for the ice. However, a campfire and an ice fishing tent provide comfortable warmth during the trip.

In March-April, spring arrives at Lake Miekojärvi in ​​the Arctic Circle, bringing with it the warmth of the sun the migratory flocks of birds and their calls. The ice fishing season is at its best on the ice of Lake Miekojärvi in ​​the Arctic Circle. Snowfalls become less frequent and the snowdrifts begin to melt. The sun shines and the days get longer, but night frosts still prevent good transport connections on the ice routes. Perch, pike and zander begin to become more active and eat better as the light increases. You also need to dress warmly in spring weather, because the ice can be somewhat windy even with a weak wind.

On ice fishing trips we have a Lynx Ranger 69 Alpine snowmobile and a 6-person transport sled. If necessary, we also have a Lynx Yeti snowmobile and a Polaris Tractor ATV. It is also possible to use a Garmin live  sonar and, if necessary, an ice fishing tent. The transport sledge includes a Kaskinuotio campfire, where you can warm up in the flame of the campfire and, if you wish, prepare food or enjoy your own picnic lunch.
