Korkeakoski fishing platform
Below the Korkeakoski power plant is the Korkeakoski fishing platform, which is a separate fishing area.
The most popular form of fishing in the area is spinfluga fishing. In addition, there is a long rowing fishing area in the Korkeakoski branch where it is possible to rent a boat. Both Korkeakoski fishing areas are good places to reach both salmon and sea trout. The areas of Korkeakoski are not suitable for fly fishing.
Purchase of a fishing license

Salmon and trout with a andipose fin must be released
Salmons and trouts that breed in the wild, there is a andipose fin between the dorsal and caudal fins. This fin has been removed from the fish planted. All salmons and trouts with andipose fin must be released. We also encourage the release all trouts and salmons without andipose fin to ensure the strengthening of wild fish stocks. Even these fish are important for the future of the river.
