What the heck is Kalastajan Kymijoki

Salmon fishing, like the various forms of fishing for all other fish species, is much more than just a fishing event. Free-hand fishing is, of course, the culmination of everything, but before that, a considerable amount of things happen that only other fishermen and fishermen understand. There is the planning of trips, the acquisition and manufacture of tools and lures, the exchange of ideas with other fishermen and, of course, the collection of information from various sources regarding fishing grounds, the necessary equipment, conditions and so on.

It is always worth reading, as the old people said, which is still true today. For example, written literature on salmon fishing can be found almost indefinitely, but today, with the development of technology, sharing current information through various channels of social media is very effortless and easy. Social media should not be seen as an enemy of written literature either, but these are just two different sources, both of which can be of immense benefit to the fisherman. We love the idea of reading an old book about salmon fishing in front of a whiskey glass, but on the other hand, it’s very exciting to be able to follow the events of your favorite spot on social media in near real time while waiting for your own trip to the same fishing spot.

About love for the sport

Fisherman's Kymijoki is a channel that collects and shares current information about fishing on the Kymijoki River. It’s the view of three passionate salmon fishermen about what a good fishing medium should be like. This has been a key idea throughout the project; From fishermen to fishermen. During our fishing years, we have developed a vision of what kind of information should be available, and we want to implement this vision and share it with other fishermen. The Fisherman's Kymijoki is an economically independent project, and we only do this as part of this great hobby and, most importantly, our love for the species and the Kymijoki. We sincerely hope that you will benefit from Fisherman's Kymijoki, whether you are a novice fisherman or a veteran with years of fishing experience.
