🌊 Why the Simojoki River?
Simojoki is Finland’s only natural Atlantic salmon river that flows entirely within the country’s borders – free-flowing, untouched, and unregulated. Its shallow, easily accessible current and scenic riverbanks make it an ideal location to begin fly fishing.
The course takes place at the start of the salmon season when fish are active and more likely to strike – the perfect time for beginners to experience early success and build confidence!
