"A tenth of Finland is made up of bodies of water and almost a third of the country’s population fishes in their free time. This may explain why the vast majority of the country’s 500,000 summer cottages have been built beside lakes and ponds."
"Fishing has a solid position in the Finnish cultural lexicon, with revered Finnish author Juhani Aho (1861-1921) famously describing fishing as an experience that left him “spellbound, intoxicated”.
You can’t disagree once you see the lake’s surface glistening in the early morning sun, inviting you to relax on the dock, enjoy the immaculate stillness and to then lure in perches from the surrounding waters."
"The Sami possess a rich cultural heritage and are known for their close connection to the land they live on. Whether you are the adventurous type or like a more leisurely pace, let the Sámi people guide you into their world and lifestyle. Inari, Enontekiö and Utsjoki are some of the best places to explore the mythical past and present of the Sámi"
"In the winter, the steam rushing up from the almost frozen rapids makes ice-fishing an almost magical experience."
