Why fish in the Savonlinna region<\/h2>\n

In the Savonlinna region, life has always been shaped by water. For generations, fishing was one of the most important ways to gather food, especially in island communities where everyday life depended on the lake and its seasons.<\/p>\n

That close relationship with the water still lives on today. At the same time, the region offers a wide variety of fishing waters, from sheltered bays and island routes to broader open waters and exceptionally clear lakes such as Puruvesi.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”588120″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle_2″ css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”v-center-row” css=”.vc_custom_1774535806088{padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #DFECF9 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”316890″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle_2″ css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1774537638188{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Fish species and local fish culture<\/h2>\n

The clean waters of the region are home to species such as pike, perch, pike-perch, whitefish and burbot. Lake Puruvesi is especially known for its exceptional clarity and for Puruveden muikku<\/strong>, a local vendace with protected designation of origin status in the EU.<\/p>\n

Muikku is an important part of local food culture and one of the most authentic tastes of Saimaa.<\/p>\n

Fishing and cottage life by the lake<\/h2>\n

For many anglers, a good fishing holiday means having the lake close at all times. In the Savonlinna region, a cottage stay makes that easy. You can head out by boat when the conditions feel right, return to shore when you want and enjoy the day at your own pace.<\/p>\n

Every cottage includes a rowing boat, and some also offer an outboard motor or an electric motor suitable for fishing. Some local providers also rent larger boats and arrange fishing trips with an experienced guide.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”588106″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle_2″ css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” el_id=”winter-fishing” css=”.vc_custom_1774537862988{padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/visitsavonlinna.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/oravi-pilkki.jpg?id=583010) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1774536300738{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1774537974039{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #203584BF !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Winter fishing in the Savonlinna region<\/span><\/h2>\n

Winter changes fishing on Lake Saimaa completely. When the lake freezes, the landscape becomes quieter and the pace slows down. Beneath the ice, perch, pike-perch and pike still offer rewarding fishing, and winter is also the season of traditional vendace seine fishing and burbot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guided ice-fishing trips are a good way to experience winter fishing with local knowledge, proper equipment and attention to safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open-water fishing on Lake Saimaa<\/span><\/h2>\n

From spring to autumn, Lake Saimaa offers a wide variety of waters for different kinds of fishing. You can explore sheltered bays, island routes, open lake areas and clear-water lakes such as Puruvesi, while long days and bright evenings give plenty of time on the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Open-water fishing is also easy to combine with cottage life, sauna and summer days by the shore.<\/span><\/p>\n
