Wilderness fishing
Kuhmo’s numerous backcountry ponds, lakes, and rivers invite anglers on a mysterious adventure. You may catch large perch and pike, and reach waters that haven’t been fished in decades. Kuhmo’s wild nature surprises with its diversity, and you can sense the magic of countless mires — the very landscapes where, according to the Kalevala, Joukahainen was sung into the swamp.
Kuhmo’s backcountry fishing takes you off the beaten path to small forest lakes and quiet wilderness waters. At your destination, you’ll find clear water, complete peace, and the chance to fish without crowds. Often, the only sounds along the way are wind in the trees and the whistle of your line. This is fishing on nature’s terms — a step into the forest, a cast into the wild.
