Description
#935 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/935
Presented by: TroutRoutes, Yellowstone Teton Territory, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Fly Fish with me Utah
Jani Himanko owns Kellankoski Lodge in central Finland, where anglers target native brown trout, grayling, pike, and other species in a low-pressure river system connected by lakes and rapids. The fishery is known for aggressive trout feeding behavior, migrating baitfish, and a unique streamer technique centered around the surfboard fly.
This conversation digs into the technical side of streamer fishing, Finland's trout culture, and how protected private water helped preserve giant native browns in their original range.
